# Beach Read by Emily Henry (Paperback)

**Two writers. One holiday. A romcom waiting to happen...**

\-------

**'One of my favourite authors'** Colleen Hoover, _It Ends With Us_  
**'A great love story'** Jodi Picoult, Wish You Were Here  
**'The perfect escapist romp'** Laura Jane Williams, _One Night With You_

**January** is a hopeless romantic who narrates her life like she's the lead in a blockbuster movie.

**Gus** is a serious literary type who thinks true love is a fairy-tale.

But January and Gus have more in common than you'd think:

They're both broke.  
They've got crippling writer's block.  
And they need to write bestsellers before summer ends.

The result? A bet to swap genres and see who gets published first.  
The risk? In telling each other's stories, their worlds might be changed entirely...

**Set over one sizzling summer, _Beach Read_ is a witty love story that will make you laugh a lot, cry a little and fall head over heels. For fans of _The Flat Share_ and _If I Never Met You_.**

\-------

**'My heart ached for January, and Gus is to die for - a** **steamy, smart and perceptive romance'** Josie Silver, _One Night on the Island_

**'Full of banter, heat, and sexual tension, I felt the thrill of falling in love right alongside January and Gus. A gorgeous page-turner of a novel'** Laura Jane Williams, _One Night With You_

**'Funny, and seriously sizzling'**_Best_

**'If whipcrack banter and sexual tension is your catnip, you'll adore this book'** Sally Thorne, _The Hating Game_

**'Touching and heartfelt . . . I closed this book with a satisfied sigh'** Jasmine Guillory, _While We Were Dating_

**'Clever and funny, this is a tender love story'**_Woman & Home_
