Beach Read by Emily Henry
3.0

It took me so long to get through this book - which unfortunately proves to me Emily Henry is not one of the authors about whom I can just say "I love everything she writes!". I absolutely loved "Happy Place", but dragged through "People We Meet On Vacation" and now through this one as well. Although it has beautiful passages and sentences and some very heart-warming moments, for the most part I just felt like I was reading yet another boring, "feel-well" romance where everything is going to be fine at the end - with the added discomfort I kept feeling throughout the book that the title didn't make any sense whatsoever. To be fair, it did surprise me a few times, and the title eventually made sense - but I think it just took way too long to tell a story that's not so interesting and/or which details (her book, her father's story) could have been much more explored. Meh.
