Beach Read Hb Special Sprayed Edge Edition

About Book: Beach Read is a witty, emotional contemporary romance about two writers who challenge each other to swap genres for the summer. January Andrews writes bestselling happy-ever-after romances but has stopped believing in love after painful family revelations. Augustus “Gus” Everett is a serious literary-fiction author facing writer’s block and his own emotional burdens. When the former college rivals become next-door neighbors in a Lake Michigan beach town, they make a bet: January will write literary fiction and Gus will write a romance. As they research, write, and confront old assumptions, their rivalry develops into an unexpected relationship. First published in 2020, the novel blends banter and slow-burn attraction with grief, family secrets, creative pressure, and questions about what makes an ending hopeful.
