This was a wonderful book. I am not surprised by that considering that I’ve read Emily Henry’s books before. The only disappointing part was that I expected to cry and didn’t. That definitely doesn’t take away from how much I loved the romance between the main characters. I think the book was also extremely funny at times. January and Gus’s banter was perfection, absolutely my favorite part. I also really appreciated how we got to see their books unfolded at the end. 100% would recommend this book for summer.

I don't have a lot of things to say in a critical sense. I just really liked the vibes in this book. It dealt with a lot of themes around familial trauma and grief of people we knew / thought we knew. It wasn't really a light read the way that the title would suggest, but I was fine with that, because I really like romance to have depth to it and I really felt that this one did. I still like People We Meet On Vacation better, but this was pretty solid.

no thoughts just vibes you know

If you want something fluffy but that feels heartfelt and real, you'd do well with Beach Read. It's funny and just the right amount of emotional. It's steamy with just enough of a slow burn to really make the steamy scenes feel earned. So fun!

I loved this book. It was funny and lighthearted. It felt like two friends who met and didn’t plan on falling in love but did. It felt realistic and warm. Would recommend and would read again.
