"Two writers, one holiday. A romcom waiting to happen.."
Synopsis
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 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 as much as cry, for fans of The Flat Share and Our Stop.
My Review
Beach Read was the book i have been waiting for, as dedicated as I am to the thriller and psychological genre I was ready for some summer fun, sun and love!
In the read we meet January, a beliver in true love, a romance writer who just knows love can change everything but she is still seraching for her own true happy ending.
But just as everything was going well i her life it all comes crashing down.
Now January is struggling, dumped by her boyfriend, Memories tinged with sadness she is still is still greiving the loss of her father yet this is over shadowed by the shocking lies of his secret second life.
What and who can she trust now? The stress is mounting and now writers block has struck and the books deadline is looming.
Moving to the secret home on the lake of her late father, she knows not what to expect but she never imagined this!
Here we find Augustus Everett, her College crush/nemisis (nicknamed SEG Sexy Evil Gus by January and her best friend at the time!) and more annoyingly he is now a successful author and her new next door neighbour!
January really is at the point of asking "can things get any worse?", yet this is when the best things happen! We follow the wonderful journey of their relationship.
As friendship emerges slowly, and understanding develops with both January and Gus experiancing the same types of heartache, loss and looming deadlines! So the bet is laid down can they swap genres and write best sellers! with nothing more to lose the fun begins
The road to love is always a bumpy one, and January and Gus are about to discover love can still strike when you least expect it.
For me this is the Romcom read of the summer, wonderfully written I was smitten with both lead characters, I found them relatable and the chemitry between them was electric!
This story is so original dealing with 2 authors and diffrent writing styles it was such a clever way of writting the boy meets girl kind of tale.
This is the read we should all be tucking in to on a sunlounger, on holiday on the beach or by the pool, this is the book to stick in your carry on luggage, a truly perfect beach read!! But do not let lockdown change the game! that get this read on your TBR, grab the suncream and a cocktail in your gardens, patios, or at the park feel the sun on your face as you enjoy January and Gus's story and sizzle in the heat and from the twists and thrills of the story itself!
At the time of writing Beach Read is priced at only 99p on kindle!!
An unbeliveable price!
