So, Beach Read. Almost as perfect as Funny Story was, and another excellent performance by Ms. Henry. 

January and Gus' story is incredibly sweet and relatable. Each with demons that they have to learn to fight, each needing to learn how to open up to each other. It's beautifully written, and all the better for missing the ubiquitous 3rd act breakup. 

It's a nice and slow buildup to love between these two, and you just can't help rooting for them to find love, to succeed.
