Beach Read
<b><b>THE INSTANT <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER FROM THE #1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF <i>PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION</i>!<br /><br />“Original, sparkling bright, and layered with feeling.”—Sally Thorne, author of <i>The Hating Game<br /></i><br />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.</b></b><br /><br />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. <br /><br />They’re polar opposites. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.
