A review by emmysforeverbooked
Beach Read by Emily Henry

emotional funny lighthearted medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I LOVED this book. I read this book shortly after reading Emily Henry's "Book Lovers" and loved this one almost as much. This one was a little harder for me to get into at first, because I felt like the chapters were a little longer than Book Lovers' but once I got into it, I could NOT put it down. I loved Gus so much. I think January was very relatable (a fellow struggling writer lol). I loved the diversity of the cast. Everything about this book was mwah. I highly recommend if you're looking for something with the rivals to lovers trope (one of my personal favorites).

Content Warnings

Graphic: Sexual content, Death of parent, Grief, and Cursing

Moderate: Religious bigotry, Cancer, and Alcohol

When I say "religious bigotry" I mean that a good portion of the book talks about religious cults. There wasn't a much better tag to choose but this is what I meant!
