A novelist known for romance but jaded by love teams up with a literary fiction author facing a creative drought for a summertime challenge that might overturn their views on classic love stories.
Acclaimed literary figure Augustus Everett contrasts starkly with the romance bestseller, January Andrews. While her stories brim with romantic conclusions, he's notorious for scripting tragedies for his characters.
They're like chalk and cheese.
Remarkably, the sole thing bridging their differences is their present circumstance: they're temporarily next-door neighbors at the beach, both financially strapped and struggling with a bout of writer’s block.
One evening, a casual chat evolves into a pact intended to jolt them from their stagnation: Augustus commits to writing an upbeat tale, while January sets her sights on a profound, introspective masterpiece. Their summer is filled with quirky adventures fitting for a romantic film for her, and intense cult survivor interviews for him. The objective? Complete their respective books without romance blooming between them. Or so they think.
I also recently read beach read by Emily Henry. I’d never read her books before but I liked it. It took me a bit of time to get into it but when I did I enjoyed it.
