Beach Read by Emily Henry isn’t just another summer romance—it’s a clever, emotionally rich story about love, grief, and the stories we tell ourselves. January Andrews, a bestselling romance writer, and Augustus Everett, a brooding literary author, are polar opposites. But when they end up as neighbors in neighboring beach houses for the summer, they make a deal: She’ll try writing literary fiction; he’ll attempt a romance novel.
Why readers adore it:
🔥 Sizzling chemistry wrapped in razor-sharp banter
📖 A love letter to books (and the writers who create them)
💔 Unexpected depth—exploring grief, family secrets, and vulnerability
🌊 Summer vibes meets emotional authenticity
Perfect for fans of:
• The Hating Game (enemies-to-lovers tension)
• People We Meet on Vacation (Emily Henry’s signature blend of humor and heart)
• Book Lovers (meta-commentary on romance tropes)
Why it stands out:
✅ Critically acclaimed with a devoted fanbase
✅ Balances steam and substance—equal parts sexy and soulful
✅ Ideal vacation read (but with enough depth for book clubs)
A romance that proves sometimes the best love stories begin where the fairy tales leave off.
