A review by amethysthunter
Beach Read by Emily Henry
2.5
Hmm, I feel a little conflicted as I did really enjoy the first half of the story, but overall Augustus Everett and January Andrews were personally both super mid independently and together. Their conversations were rarely interesting (like his random ass book on a suicide cult that he's writing???) and although they were cute as a couple, I didn't really feel like they were real people as they felt largely single dimensional.
Their two main hobbies are trauma bonding over their deceased parents and being absurdly attracted and addicted to each other's bodies. Their arguments felt mainly not realistic and I felt like although I really wanted to like them, their attraction felt super exaggerated (such as the unnecessary PDA) and I began losing interest and getting the ick like post 60%. Overall, I think I enjoyed Book Lovers more but am further straying from the Emily Henry hype wagon ==>
