Beach Read by Emily Henry

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Funny Story!

Some books just feel like summer. This is one of them.

Meet January Andrews, a romance writer who’s stopped believing in happily ever afters. And Augustus Everett, a literary novelist who kills off his entire cast without blinking. They’re polar opposites. The only thing they share? For three long months, they’re living in neighboring beach houses—both broke, both bogged down with the worst kind of writer’s block.

Then, one hazy evening, they strike a deal.

Augustus will try his hand at something happy. January will attempt the next Great American Novel. She’ll drag him on field trips straight out of a rom-com montage. He’ll take her to interview the surviving members of a backwoods death cult (naturally). Everyone finishes a book. No one falls in love. Really.

You can guess how well that goes.

Featured in The New York Times Book Review, Entertainment Weekly, Oprah Magazine, Good Morning America, Shondaland, CNN, and just about everywhere else, this is the swoony, whip-smart contemporary romance that turned Emily Henry into a household name.

It’s witty. It’s tender. It’s exactly the kind of book you want to sink into on a rainy afternoon here in the cove—or tuck into a tote bag for an afternoon on the sand.

Warm, funny, and quietly moving, Beach Read is a story about second chances, creative slumps, and the messy business of falling for the last person you expected.

Come grab a copy. Salt air optional, but recommended.
