Not enjoying the writing style, and the amount of booze/drinking in the first few chapters is off the charts. I hope the MC got help at the end, but yeah. Just too much, not for me.

🏝️ Beach Read by Emily Henry 🏝️

MY RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Augustus Everett, a literary fiction author, and January Andrews, a romance writer, are polar opposites. Both struggling with writer's block, they end up in neighboring beach houses for the summer. They strike a deal: Augustus will write something happy, while January will tackle the Great American Novel. She’ll show him romantic spots; he’ll take her to interview cult members. No one will fall in love. Really.

Emily Henry does it again! I read this book a few years ago and didn’t like it, and now that I’ve been reading all of her other books I decided to try again and really enjoyed it. I loved January and Gus, and felt a lot of what they were dealing with felt very real and helped them develop as characters. Their backstories were not one-dimensional, and I feel like they made sense together. Like her other books, this one talked about some intense topics and the characters were definitely going through things, but it still felt lighthearted and sweet. I’d love to have read this on a beach! 

Read this if you like: 

• enemies to lovers
• bookish characters 
• dating lessons ish
