Beach Read

Summary

Beach Read by Emily Henry is a contemporary romance novel that delves into the lives of two writers, January Andrews and Augustus Everett, who find themselves living in neighboring beach houses for the summer. January is a romance novelist grappling with a personal tragedy and a severe case of writer's block, while Augustus writes acclaimed literary fiction and is equally stuck in his creative endeavors.

As a way to overcome their respective writing slumps, they strike a unique deal: January will attempt to write a literary novel, and Augustus will try his hand at romance. Through this challenge, they embark on a series of outings to help each other understand the genres they're temporarily adopting, leading to humorous and enlightening experiences. As the summer progresses, their initial skepticism about each other's writing and life philosophies evolves into a deep and unexpected connection.

Published by Berkley, Beach Read is targeted towards an adult audience.
