Words can’t describe how much I loved this book. I loved the characters, I thought they were complicated and funny, and I rooted for them. I especially loved Gus … 10/10 would recommend it was incredible.

Also, I listened to the audiobook version and I think the narrator did a wonderful job. Sometimes audiobook narrations can be really distracting from the story and kind of ruin a scene, chapter, or even the whole story. But if you’re like me and you like to feel totally enveloped by an audiobook I don’t think you’ll be disappointed by this one. Several times I found myself startled away from the story when the outside world got too loud and realized I’d been listening for hours. I still managed to finish Beach Read over 24 hours though so it’s safe to say the audiobook is pretty good.
