A new favorite and comfort read, I know I’ll return to Beach Read any time life gets too difficult.
Beach Read follows January as she moves into the house of her recently deceased father, trying to earn money by writing another book. The only problem: massive writing block. Now enter Gus, her college rival and new neighbor. Will they make a challenge to write a better book in each other’s genre? Definitely . Will they fall in love? You’ll have to read and find out:)
Emily Henry writes such an amazing character exploration, where even the side characters feel entirely fleshed out. That being said, the two protagonists are still where she shines, and the emotional depth built off of their connection is the dream for a real life relationship. I also loved how Henry incorporates a variety of emotions into her works. I laughed, I cried, and I appreciated how even the more darker topics were handled with care.
All in all, I would recommend this for anyone who loves a strong romance with an even stronger protagonist.
