Beach Read by Emily Henry

5.0

This book is just on another level completely. I’m so mad at myself that this has been sitting on my bookshelf collecting dust for two years because Emily Henry pulled out all the stops and more. I definitely get the hype around her now, she is such a phenomenal author and this is hands down the best romance banter I’ve ever read. Gus and Januarys conversations had me laughing and tabbing nearly the whole story. Their relationship development felt so natural and real, Gus and January felt like people who actually exist, and that’s my favorite thing a book can make me feel.

The pacing was perfect, the characters and side characters were perfect, and the plot was perfect. Need I say more? If there was ever a five star romance this would definitely be it. This story is also just what you need to read in the summer (“beach read” duh) it captures that summer romance essence so well while also maintaining a plot with depth. Even the books Gus and January were writing were so interesting to read about. Emily Henry has just gained a new fan and I’m beyond excited to read and devour everything else she’s written.
