<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>THE INSTANT <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER FROM THE #1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF <i>PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION</i>! <p/>"Original, sparkling bright, and layered with feeling."--Sally Thorne, author of <i>The Hating Game<br></i><br>A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters.</b></b> <p/>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. <p/>They're polar opposites. <p/>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. <p/>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>"Once I started <i>Beach Read</i> I legit did not put it down."<b>--<i>Betches</i> <p/>One of... <br><i>The New York Times Book Review's</i> Summer Romance Reads</b> <br><b>Entertainment Weekly's Hottest Summer Reads of 2020</b><br><b><i>Oprah Magazine's</i> Best Beach Reads of Summer 2020<br><i>Betches' </i>20 Books to Read in 2020<br><i>SheReads'</i> Most Anticipated Books of Summer 2020</b> <br><b><i>Goodreads'</i> Big Books of Spring</b> <br><b><i>Popsugar's</i> 25 Exciting New Books Coming Out in May</b> <br><b><i>Bustle's</i> Most Anticipated May Titles</b> <br><b><i>Shondaland's</i> Five Books to Read in May</b> <br><b>TheSkimm's 11 Buzzy Books for Your Imaginary Beach Bag</b> <br><b><i>Good Morning America's</i> 25 Novels You'll Want to Read this Summer</b> <br><b><i>The New York Post's</i> Required Reading</b> <br><b><i>Good Housekeeping's</i> 25 Best Beach Reads</b> <br><i>Huffington Post's</i> Best Books to Read during Quarantine<br>CNN's Perfect Summer Reads<br>LitHub's Ultimate Summer 2020 Reading List <br>BookRiot's 6 Captivating New Books<br></b><br>"Reader, I swooned! <i>Beach Read</i> is a breath of fresh air.
