Beach Read

FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION AND BOOK LOVERS! 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. 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. TheyΓÇÖre polar opposites. In factthe only thing they have in common is that for the next three monthsthey’re living in neighboring beach housesbrokeand bogged down with writer’s block. Untilone hazy eveningone 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 happyand January will pen the next Great American Novel. SheΓÇÖll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montageand heΓÇÖll 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.
