Beach Read - Emily Henry

nTHE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER nOriginal, sparkling bright, and layered with feeling...--Sally Thorne, author of The Hating Game n nA romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters. n nAugustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance.

When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast. n nThey're polar opposites. n nIn fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer's block.

n nUntil, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She'll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he'll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love.
