This is not a typical romance in a sense that are some really dark and heavy topics represented: domestic abuse, a cult, death... the kind of themes that are not associated when you ear the genre romance.
I really enjoyed this book. I like how dark and mysterious Gus is and how fragile and hurt January feels. And I like the way both of them decide to give each other a chance (although, sometimes, January frustrated me a lot). The best part about this book is that it shows that two people with completely opposite visions of the world can find common ground.
I really liked this book and will look for more books by Emily Henry.

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.
