Beach Read (Deluxe Edition)

Now in a stunning new hardcover package: Emily Henry’s adult debut, which launched her onto the world stage as the reigning queen of romance, about a romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engaging in a summerlong challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters Augustus 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. They´re polar opposites. In 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. Until, 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. Really.
