Book Overview

FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FUNNY STORY
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.
As featured in The New York Times Book Review ∙ Entertainment Weekly ∙ Oprah Magazine ∙ Betches ∙ Shondaland ∙ Good Morning America ∙ The New York Post ∙ Good Housekeeping ∙ CNN ∙ and more

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.

Comfy Beach Read

By Danett, November 24, 2024 Verified Purchase

This was the first book I brought with me to Miami when I started my no-phone beach ritual time. It felt like a fitting start. Emily Henry's world was an easy and comforting one to sink into day after day.

Family drama and emotional dynamics.

By Cher, July 29, 2022 Verified Purchase

Quick, enjoyable read. Not much depth to the characters and pretty predictable but is a feel good, happy ending fluff piece.

Makes you wanna write a book yourself

By AnnaFranko, July 2, 2022 Verified Purchase

I’ve always love reading and writing and this book fires up both sides of my book brain. It shows the challenges of being a writer, but also has a love story that makes you never wanna put down the book. Beautifully written!
