Sinossi
Augustus Everett è un autore amato dalla più intransigente critica letteraria. January Andrews invece scrive deliziose commedie romantiche che scalano regolarmente le classifiche. Lui è uno scrittore serio, ma non riesce a parlare di sentimenti. Lei è una sostenitrice dell'amore per sempre e del lieto fine. Non hanno niente in comune. A parte che per i prossimi tre mesi saranno vicini di casa. January ha infatti deciso di rifugiarsi nel cottage del padre sul lago Michigan e pensa di trascorrere l'estate raccogliendo le idee e scrivendo un romanzo pieno della felicità che non sa più immaginare: ha da poco scoperto un segreto sui suoi genitori e non crede più nell'amore. Nella veranda accanto alla sua c'è però un vicino di casa inaspettato: Augustus Everett, suo ex compagno di college e soprattutto autore di fama. Anche lui colpito da un paralizzante blocco dello scrittore. Da sempre i due non si sopportano, ma decidono di lanciarsi una sfida per cercare di darsi una mano, o più probabilmente di punzecchiarsi. Si scambieranno il romanzo. E così Augustus dovrà dimostrare di saper scrivere anche un lieto fine e January di sapersi cimentare nella scrittura del Grande Romanzo Americano. E questa scommessa cambierà inevitabilmente tutti i finali...

Recensioni
This is my favorite romance read of the year. It came in second place in the Goodreads Choice Awards voting, but my thoughts haven’t changed! I loved it so, so, so much! OH MY GOODNESS! Finally, the literature gods heard my prayers! I’ve been longing for a fantastic romance, something heart-wrenching Leggi tutto
His eyes were doing the thing, the Gus thing . . . and it made my chest flutter almost painfully. I don't get it. What am I missing here? Beach Read originally caught my eye because its premise reminded me of Summer Villa , one of my favorite Hallmark movies. I know, I'm publicly admitting to being
I didn't like this book as much as I thought I would, and that makes me sad. I had this as a five star prediction, one of my most anticipated of the year because this premise sounds PERFECT to me. I love books that follow writers, and I love the idea of two writers swapping genres and competing to s Leggi tutto
everybody knows i love emily henry. https://emmareadstoomuch.substack.com... like, it’s probably gotten to the point that people who don’t know anything about me or read my reviews know that. probably the people who do all they can to avoid my crossing their digital path (and i imagine these people mu Leggi tutto
I did what any reasonable adult woman would do when confronted with her college rival turned next-door neighbor. I dove behind the nearest bookshelf. I really needed this book. I didn't realize how much I needed it until I was giggling along with all the awkwardness and banter and feeling like I'
i feel like emily henry personally wrote this book for me. ngl i feel like emily henry writes all her books to me, because i connect to them on more than a surface level.✨✨ emily henry put her whole ass and tits into this book. i’ve read “people we meet on vacation” and enjoyed it but “beach read” is Leggi tutto
this was a goddamn delight!! i know, i’m surprised too, another romance book that i loved? unheard of. tbh, i can’t even really explain my change of heart. maybe the turbulence of the year 2020 has softened me to the idea of cliche tropes and consistent Happily Ever Afters, maybe i’ve always been a s Leggi tutto
*yawn* I'm really sad I wasted my time on this romance that was completely overhyped, in my opinion. I can't really describe what turned me off from this story, but I just could not get into January and Augustus' budding relationship as they both make a bet and write stories that are out of their co Leggi tutto
1.5 Ja wiedziałam, że wszyscy mi mówiliście, że tego nie polubię. Ale nawet ja czasami mam ochotę na trochę miłości w moim życiu! Nienawidzę głównej bohaterki przez jej idiotyczne zachowanie. To jedna z tych książek, która miałaby cztery strony, gdyby bohaterowie sobie pogadali chociaż raz. Also, nic Leggi tutto
