![]() ![]() If there’s ever a time to read a book like this, it’s now. As they gradually learn to trust one another, they fall in love in such a tender, believable, real way that it’ll make you believe in people and love and happiness and the power of books to heal us. ![]() Sounds easy, right?īeach Read is about two people who are both going through hardship and struggle, who don’t believe in themselves or other people, who are scared and anxious and heartbroken. They’re both writers, and both dealing with writer’s block, so they decide to swap genres-January will teach Gus how to write a fun, swoony rom-com, and Gus will teach her how to write bleak literary fiction. January’s neighbor at the beach house is Gus, her nemesis from college who writes lit fic, so obviously he thinks her romance is easy-to-write garbage. January and Augustus are next-door neighbors in beach houses in a tiny vacation town. January has writers block because she no longer believes in happily ever after (because her whole life is a LIE). ![]() If you’re also looking for books like this, Beach Read is your exact book for this moment. Right now, I want to read books that make me forget what’s going on in the world, books that take me to another place, books that make me smile, and books that make me believe in the goodness of other people. There’s also a key to a boat named January that’s docked in the marina nearby. ![]() In this hard and stressful time, I’m all the more appreciative of books that fill me with joy. January reads the stack of letters, one per year of her life, each dated on her birthday. ![]()
