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.

Beach Read (Book of the Month Edition) by Emily Henry

A witty and heartwarming romantic comedy about two authors who are forced to work together to write a book, and in the process, discover their own happily ever after.

January Andrews is a literary wunderkind who has always dreamed of writing a great American novel. Augustus Everett is a sardonic bestseller writer who thinks all literary fiction is overrated. When they're forced to co-write a romance novel together, they clash over everything—from their writing styles to their worldviews.

But as they spend more time together, they find that they have more in common than they thought. They both love books, they both love their families, and they both want to be loved. And as they work on their novel, they begin to fall in love with each other.

But their relationship is complicated. January is afraid of getting hurt, and Augustus is afraid of commitment. They both have their own demons to deal with, and they have to figure out how to overcome them if they want to be together.

Beach Read is a funny, romantic, and heartwarming story about two people who find love in the most unexpected place. It's a reminder that sometimes, the best things in life come when you least expect them.
