gray 's review for:

Beach Read by Emily Henry
3.75
emotional slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

The novel starts slow, gets good in the middle, and then drops off towards the end.
It felt like a self-insert novel but I'm really not familiar with Emily Henry's background and don't think it's good to speculate on her personal life. I am honestly interested in reading Gus's and January's books that the author described in the book more than anything, but whether or not it will actually be published is yet to be seen.
The inner monologues and reflections moved me, but the romance between the characters themselves really didn't do much for me.
