About this eBook
FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION AND BOOK LOVERS!
A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters.
Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast.
They’re polar opposites.
In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer's block.
Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She’ll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he’ll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.

In this enchanting story, a romance writer who has lost her faith in love and a literary author struggling with writer’s block find themselves entangled in a summer-long challenge. As they push each other to break out of their respective creative and emotional ruts, their journey becomes a transformative exploration of love, passion, and the meaning of a happy ending.

Beach Read is a really cute and funny romance novel. It's about two authors who are complete opposites, but they end up falling in love while writing a book together. I loved the characters and the witty banter. It's a perfect beach read!
