Beach Read by Emily Henry Book Summary

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.

They’re polar opposites.

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.

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.

Loved loved loved it!. Beautiful story. I couldn’t put it down.

Not my cup of tea. Pacing was good but I didn’t like the plot nor the inconsistency with the characters. Not my cup of tea but still a nice read

My absolute favorite.. Love this book so much!!!

Great read!. I enjoyed this book very much.

Amazing. This book is so beautifully written. I absolutely loved it.

Amazing. My cold dead heart is finally defrosted.

Loved January and Gus!. Rooting the whole way through the book for January and Gus to have their Happy for Now! Pete is a gem in a very supporting and supportive role. Loved it! Thank you!

Very cute! Loved both protagonists. This was a very cute read. Typically I lean towards liking one protagonist over the other, but that was not the case. Both January and Gus were so likable in their own ways and their romance was so sweet.

A book you won’t put down…. Couldn’t put this book down. Heartwarming, funny, quirky, all the things this book has it! I fell in love with the characters quickly and loved them till the end.

A little boring. Never was able to finish the book as much as I love romance books. Follows the very typical next door neighbor trope and it got boring to me half way through :/

<3. Loved loved loved

Completely Invested. The beginning was a little slow to start, but the deeper I got, the more completely invested I was to the two main characters - January and Gus. They’ve got the kind of love everyone longs for.

Ahhhh love ❤️. This book made me want to go and rekindle my romance with my husband by the beach in a small cabin lol I loved this book so much I wished there was more and more! My favorite so far!!!

January and Gus have me forever.. The best book I’ve read this year, it was amazing and left me speechless. LOVE.

Loved it!. Couldn’t put it down. Just the distraction I needed. I was looking for a book to bring me back to loving reading. This one is it ♥️

Favorite. This is one of my all time favorites and GUS IS THE BLUEPRINT. That is all. Please read it.

Starts slow then AMAZING. Starts boring but then picks up and OMG AMAZING.

The Sweatiest Story. My new favorite author. I’ve always loved romance, because who doesn’t love falling in love. There’s something about Emily’s stories though. When I’m not reading one I’m thinking about how long until I get to again.

Pirates!. Great novel! Let’s you inside the mind of a writer yet being realistic with rom com and reality. Has the ups and downs of life and shows the messy bits that makes the outcome so much more sweeter. Great story you wont be disappointed in the new adventure of Gus and January in their discussion of a 3rd pirates of the Caribbean movie

Love. Omg so good!!

Beautiful happy read. One of those books that makes you smile the entire time.

Not a fan. Loved People We Meet on Vacation - read twice- this one could hardly get through.

lovely. this book is very well written and easy to read, with believable, lovable characters:) it was these qualities, among others, that made Beach Read the first book i’ve finished for my own enjoyment in about a year. i laughed and smiled and even cried a little bit throughout this lovely summer read, and i highly recommended to anyone who needs a moment to feel understood🫶

So perfect. The perfect easy read!!

One of those. One of those books that make you feel. Hard to not fall for Janie and Gus. Really loved this.

Alright read. It just wasn’t for me. I enjoyed People we Meet on Vacation much more.

So so good. I loved every second of this book. Funny, refreshing, sad, hopeful. Highly recommend.

Little slow and heavy. This was a little slow abs darker than I had anticipated. Loved the ending though. But it definitely wasn’t a “light beach read.”

4.5✨. Perfect book to read for the summer

Amazing read!. I haven’t read a book that had me feeling a mixed of emotions all in one! Beautifully written and the characters were so relatable!

Emily Henry’s BEST book.. I read this book in literally two days. I could NOT put it down. I felt that this book moved faster than her other novels. I did not think it was a slow burn, which I thought PWMOV was. This is truly a romance novel, but it also encompasses everything love entails; the good and the ugly. If you’re debating on reading, PLEASE DO!

Loved it...till the end. I genuinely have no criticism for this book other than the fact that the ending felt...rushed? I still recommend!

I had hope for this but…. So this is what qualifies as good reading anymore? So disappointing that many thought this was “great”. This is bland boring and forgettable. The drama is weak and the main character is way too full of herself. I read a lot of true crime so I needed a palate cleanser. I had heard how good this was so against my better judgement I got it. It started off well and I thought ok this is exactly what I need at this moment but then right when it should’ve ended it continued on for another couple hundred pages and completely became ruined. It’s like the author had a story but it was too short and then had to come up with more pages and ended up just floundering. I did laugh out loud several times which I rarely do when reading so that’s why I gave it more stars than it pry deserved. The bummer is I got the author’s other two books when I got this one and I can’t return them. I don’t have plans to read those so I will pry donate them to the library as I wouldn’t dare recommend them to people I know. The writing just isn’t intelligent, challenging or memorable. You can get an idea about society through the books they read and like and if this book is any indicator then our society is in big trouble.

LOVED IT. slow start but god was it worth it. My favorite book of 2022

Loved it!. Lovable leads, will they or won’t they, steamy kisses. Great read!

Nice. A little predictable. Wouldve liked to have her elongate the “chase”. Gus spent 5tears there and never saw her dad when he could literally see inside the house? Idk. A little slow at times. Its ok for a quick read

It WAS enjoyable. There were some moments in between where it did feel dull to me personally. However i did like the premise of the book and the happily ever after! It was a very cute enemy to lovers/ rom com story.

Plot Intricacy. At first the book simply seems like an academic enemies to lovers romance. However, as you read, more details are “uncovered” and at the end you have so many sub-stories and an amazing intricate plot about grief, father-daughter relationships, strained family relationships, and love beyond the “black-and-white” narrative. Loved it!

So good!. I forgot how to read entire book until Beach Read. It was fun and sexy and just what I needed.

Loved it!. Great summer book :)

So good!. Loved it!

Meh. I didn’t love or hate this book. It didn’t draw me in like most books, but I was dedicated to finishing it, as I didn’t want to leave it unfinished. I would give it about a 6/10.

Decent read - not lighthearted. I’ll start by saying I’m a big fan of Emily Henry. The first book I read was People we meet on vacation (10/10) , followed by Book Lovers (10/10), and then this as my third piece (5-6/10) I was under the impression this would be more cute and light hearted, a feel-good romance. I came to find quickly that this heavily involved themes such as grief, loss, abuse, secrets, affairs… with a side of suicide cult thrown in. I found January to be extremely emotional and insecure.l and was always complaining about how broke she is. Gus was an interesting character and I enjoyed reading about their romance develop. I do agree with another reviewer that the ending 10-15% of the book felt very abrupt and rushed. It was like everything happened all at once and all these strings were forced to get tied up in a way that is unbelievable to be coincidental with the timing. I think it could’ve been paced better in that aspect. In short - it kept me interested out of more curiosity than enjoyment, I wouldn’t recommend it or write home about this one. Def check out her other books though!

Too cute. ….perfect beach read.

Loved this read. The cutest, feel good book. The type you read a couple more times.

Slow Burn. Okay this book ripped my heart out and put it back together. In between that I related so much to these characters. I looooved the banter. Ugh it’s just so good. Yes, I am in fact a hopeless romantic. This novel had me sobbing in the end. (Currently drying my tears as I type this.)

another emily henry MASTERPIECE!. i loved the plot beneath the romance, the intricacy of characters and their relationship and i just loved how in touch everything felt with one another. the story builds off of a steady momentum and the moments that make up the coaster are those golden flicks from beloved rom coms. i have loved emily henry since PWMOV and reading this made me love her a little bit more. read this ANYWHERE!

Doesn’t live up to the hype. The love story isn’t believable. The miscommunication trope is overdone. The best friend is annoying. I had to force myself to finish this.

10/10. I loved everything about this book and I’m so glad I pushed myself to sit down and read this thoroughly because it ended up being amazing!!

Buy it now!. Omg stop! This book was amazing 🥹

I’m on the fence. This was a good book- it had laughter, tears, messy love, a little tragedy and lots and lots of hope. For those feeling a little lost in life you might really understand and feel these characters. But I had a few things that put me on the fence of love and hate. I was not crazy for the writing style. This is the first book I’ve read from Emily Henry. There where way too many pop culture references that distracted from the story and her sentence structure took me a long time to get in the flow of. I felt it was a little choppy. Now these are more me problems… so overall I was 4/5 stars.

Loved this book!. Such a great ‘beach read’ as the title suggests. Funny, sweet and unputdownable!!
