Beach Read is my first read by Emily Henry, and it was not what I was expecting, but it did keep me entertained. This story is about two people who meet in college in a writing class; one was infatuated while the other thought they were nemeses. Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. Years later, they find themselves living next door to each other, both suffering from writer's block due to personal issues in their own lives. To help each other with writer's block, they make a bet, a wager of sorts, since they're both broke and need to keep promises made to their agents. However, all bets are off!

I was really disappointed. The concept was good, but it ended up being too cheesy and unrealistic. Really wanted to like this book.

I truly love the way we slowly learn more about them: their painful past, the hurts in their lives. . One of my fav quotes: “I always like that thought, the way two people really did seem to grow into one. Or at least two overlapping parts, trees with tangled roots.”
