![]() ![]() January is quite ‘shocked’ to discover that her new neighbour is Augustus, aka Gus. As she tries to make sense of the secret life her father kept, she finds it hard to envision writing a story with a ‘happy ending’. ![]() January, who is still grieving the loss of her dad, has few options lefts, so she decides to move into her father’s secret home. ![]() Not only is she financially ‘broke’, but her boyfriend recently broke up with her. January needs a place to write her novel. Years later the two find themselves living in the same town. While they were in college Augustus made a comment that January interpreted as disparaging both her person and her writing. January, our lead and narrator, has a bit of a chip on her shoulder when it comes to Augustus. This is yet another novel that seems to hint at an ‘enemies-to-lovers’ romance but in actuality the two leads are never truly enemies or hostile towards each other. Personally, while I do enjoy romance books, I usually prefer them to be less cheesy…and while certain scenes or lines in Beach Read did make me smile, it wasn’t quite the ‘laugh-out-loud’ read I was hoping it would be. Romance enthusiasts will undoubtedly enjoy Emily Henry’s Beach Read. ![]()
