Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Binge-watched Normal People and Love Is Blind and now looking to escape into another suitably steamy love story? Look no further....
Two writers, one holiday. A romcom waiting to happen....
January is a hopeless romantic who narrates her life like she's the lead in a blockbuster movie.
Gus is a serious literary type who thinks true love is a fairy-tale.
But January and Gus have more in common than you'd think:
They're both broke.
They've got crippling writer's block.
And they need to write best sellers before summer ends.
The result? A bet to swap genres and see who gets published first.
The risk? In telling each other's stories, their worlds might be changed entirely....
Set over one sizzling summer, Beach Read is a witty love story that will make you laugh a lot, cry a little and fall head over heels. For fans of The Flat Share and If I Never Met You.
Critic Reviews
"The hottest book of the summer." (Josie Silver, author of best-selling One Day in December)
"The perfect escapist romp." (Laura Jane Williams, author of Our Stop)

just what i needed!
loved it! after reading books that are too heavy, reading this was a much needed reprieve!
its a romcom, which makes you smile at random times.. makes you stay up late just to be to able to continue and know the story to its very end! I dont have any qualms about this book. It was a fluffy novel, cute and heartwarming. I guess its time i switched from high fantasy to contemporary romance once again! this book was a great segue.

Cute and sweet romance book
This book is an example of a good romance novel. Emily Henry got the formula right. The narrator is really good. Go for this audiobook!

Refreshing and light read!
It is one of those books you pick up to feel better, to feel lighter or just escape tad bit away from the mundane realities of life by getting lost in someone else's life. cozy and refreshing read...just a bit too much emphasis on describing the emotions have been given.

Fast and easy read
The author built up the two main characters well and the book started out with some laughs . story is about the struggle in their life (both having writer's block) and relationships they were out of (dumped by their partners). also it was enjoyable to read their younger year interaction (they were at loggerheads). gradually as they interact and learn about each other's trade, something develops between them. nothing out of the blue, but a quick read at pace 1.3x. the narrator was good with voice modulation.

A good read
The book is wonderfully light and loving and has 2 great lead characters. It revolves around writers with writer's block and their means of coping/way of dealing with it.
I loved the deeper meaning that Emily Henry tried to weave into the story and perhaps unintentionally guide a reader/listener out of their own creative block.

such a beautiful book
it took the idea of a writer's block and explored so many themes. i did find myself not caring about the characters at times, but the ending tied up very nicely. I found myself tearing up towards the end and feeling what our protagonists were feeling. A very good read.

AMAZING… ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!
I don’t have words for how beautifully this book is written and read out. I fell in love with the characters and the words. How well the characters develop and how nicely it is paced. How beautifully the author transforms the character’s feelings into words and just transports me there. Just please read it!!!!! Loved it soooo much.
