Beach Read—Emily Henry A rom-com just waiting to happen... Emily Henry’s ‘Beach Read’ describes two writers: one who is stuck in a writer’s block and the other, who has completely given up on love. January is a hopeless romantic who narrates her life like she is the main character in an action movie. Gus is a more literary, realistic guy who thinks ‘true love’ only exists in fairy tales. Neighbours for the summer, they decide to write in each others’ genre in the hope of writing a whole new piece. The two writers have more in common than you would think…
