Histoire
Minnie Cooper knows two things with certainty: that her New Year's birthday is unlucky, and that it's all because of Quinn Hamilton, a man she's never met. Their mothers gave birth to them at the same hospital just after midnight on New Year's Day, but Quinn was given the cash prize for being the first baby born in London in 1990 - and the name Minnie was meant to have, as well. With luck like that, it's no wonder each of her birthdays has been more of a disaster than the one before.

Histoire
Can you fall in love like they do in the movies? It's Evie Summers' job to find out. Because if she can't convince her film agency's biggest client, Ezra Chester, to write the romantic-comedy screenplay he owes producers, her career will be over. The catch? He thinks rom-coms are unrealistic - and he'll only put pen to paper if Evie shows him that it's possible to meet a man in real life the way it happens on the big screen. Cynical Evie might not believe in happily ever after, but she'll do what it takes to save the job that's been her lifeline.

Olive is always unlucky: in her career, in love, in...well, everything. Her identical twin sister, Amy, on the other hand, is probably the luckiest person in the world. Her meet-cute with her fiancé is something out of a romantic comedy (gag), and she’s managed to finance her entire wedding by winning a series of internet contests (double gag). Worst of all, she’s forcing Olive to spend the day with her sworn enemy, Ethan, who just happens to be the best man.

The only catch: Josh wants a big family.

Enjoyable Christmas Fluff

Description
The instant New York Times best seller!
"Original, sparkling bright, and layered with feeling...." (Sally Thorne, author of The Hating Game)
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.
Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes best-selling 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.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"[Narrator Julia] Whelan perfectly captures January's defensiveness, which soon gives way to laughter and yearning. She portrays Gus in a deep, gruff voice suited to his brooding personality. When the authors make a bet to write and sell a book in the other's genre, both break through writer's block and give in to an intense attraction that sparkles on audio." (AudioFile Magazine)
"Reader, I swooned! Beach Read is a breath of fresh air. My heart ached for January, and Gus is to die for - a steamy, smart and perceptive romance. I was engrossed!" (Josie Silver, number one New York Times best-selling author of One Day in December)
"Once I started Beach Read I legit did not put it down." (Betches)

Book marketing is misleading
I expected this book to be lighter based on the description, cover, name, etc. The beginning is what I expected, but then the book took a turn and became a more serious exploration of the relationship (and cults - what?) which was anything but light. Honestly, the two main characters and their dramas wore me down. Quality writing but not what I expected based on marketing. I lost interest in the story and did not listen to the last 2 hours.

Blew through in a weekend
I enjoyed it overall and blasted through it in a weekend. I didn’t love the narrator’s attempt at male voices - it sounds like me when I badly mimic my husband.. kind of distracted from the fact that you were supposed to find the male lead attractive. The story had some predictable moments and a few gentle twists, which I think is what you’d expect when choosing a book like this. The best friend character felt unnecessary, but I suppose it was a realistic long distance friendship. I just expected her to play a bigger role in the end. Still, I’ve recommended it to friends who enjoy light reads.

I downloaded this audiobook on a whim after reading a book by Tom Ellen and seeing this author reccomended to me. I am so glad! It was an awesome story that kept me hooked. I loved the depth of the characters, their real-life losses and how well the author explored their grief throughout the story. It was interesting, funny, uplifting and entertaining. Can't wait to read more by Emily Henry. The narrator is also great!

This has book is definitely my favourite of 2020. It seemed a perfect book during a world pandemic where the characters had all the feelings of devastation and the found renewed hope in each other and themselves. What a great performance by Julia Whelan. What fantastic words by Emily Henry. I will re-read and re-listen to this again and again.

Perfect mix of 'romance' and 'real life'
I loved this book! I am a devourer of literary fiction with a secret penchant for 'contemporary women's fiction', which helps me to take a break break from the heavy topics I write about for my work. What I loved about this book was that, while refusing to fit neatly into any genre, it showcased the best of these two very different literary styles, and how they can each show us different facets of the same complex character . The characters were real, their struggles relatable and their love story poignant. Plus, I laughed out loud multiple times. Highly recommend.

If you're looking for a well-written, romantic, entertaining story, this is the one. Smooth, easy listening, witty, positive, and uplifting. Be ready for a couple of hot sex scenes. Whelan is an excellent narrator, I'm a big fan (she's one of the reasons I came across this book).

Phenomenal Storytelling... with a caveat
The story was beautiful, heart wrenching, and fully identifiable. It was funny, sharp, and poignant. Narration, well done. The only reason I gave the “overall” category 4 stars was due to the sex scenes I wish would have been fade-to-black/closed-door. I assumed the earlier “interruptions” to passionate moments meant the story WOULD fade out when sex was nigh, and when it didn’t—well... just not my thing. That being said... the first sex scene—the only one I listened to entirely—while too graphic for my personal reading/listening preferences was... (relatively) tasteful-ish. *cringe* In my opinion, the on-scene sex scenes were... unnecessary—at least in the breadth and scope in which they were written. This author is amazing, and I have no doubt she could have portrayed the same tender passion without that vivid content. In my opinion (take it or leave it, because everyone has their own threshold) the admittedly excellent story would have been, if not STRONGER, of equal strength and beauty without that level of descriptive physical intimacy on the page. I was grateful for the 30 second jump-ahead feature when the subsequent rounds began, and used it. But dang... I had to push that button a lot to get to the other side! Please note: This is a phenomenally well-told story, with fully realized characters that made me laugh and made me ache. I *will* likely read or listen to it again, skimming over or skipping through the things I do not wish to read/hear... now that I know where they are. I hate having to selectively withhold my recommendation of such an otherwise brilliant book like this, or having to mention a content warning to certain people/audiences who would otherwise love the story but for the scope of the portrayal of physical intimacy. But... I will. Reading preferences are subjective, and some content can shock those not ready for it.

LOVE this book, and my favorite narrator!!
Julia Whelan is my favorite audiobook narrator, and I have been anticipating this book eagerly, so I was thrilled to see that she was cast as narrator! Flawless as usual. As for the story and prose, I LOVED it all. I am admittedly a sucker for a love story, but the rawness and sly complexity in this one truly took it to another level for me. And all of the clever, witty banter a girl could hope for. I will absolutely read and listen to this book again and again over the course of my life, and I rarely say that about a book. Only a few select stories and series hold that kind of place in my heart. It feels like a cup of really great hot cocoa in a house by a lake on a rainy day; the rom com you watch over and over and over. Highly recommend.

Beach Read fit nicely within my favorite reading genre - women's fic with romance, drama, wit, and swoon. Was it perfect? No. Was it perfect for me? For the most part. Gus was my favorite type of hero and he was deliciously battered and jaded. I struggled a little more with January and I honestly couldn’t tell if it was the audio narrator’s interpretation or my own pickiness. She did seem to improve after I quit the audio, but that could be coincidental to where I was in the character’s story arc. There were some predictable elements to the romance, but it didn't negate the swoon factor that built to a crescendo in the middle of the second half. Major swoon. The author nailed the tender and sweet dialogue, descriptions, and sensuality between the two as they ventured from friends to more. The overall story weaved in and out of light and melodramatic, but with nicely written transitions that created a believable second chance romance.

Love the narrator...not the story
The reader does an excellent job! The storyline is good. The actual story is annoying. If this book were a drinking game, everyone would be dead after reading/listening to it. Take a drink every time the main character cries. Then, take a drink every time the character's name, January, is used in the story. Those two repetitive things took away from the story for me. January (oops, take a drink) is a grown woman who can't stop crying. There, you read the book.

Worth your time
I didn’t read the reviews (as I usually do) before selecting this book. And I’m glad I didn’t. The 3 stars and below reviews are usually what I skim through. Well I have to totally disagree with any negative points of view regarding this story or the narrator. This audiobook made me laugh & cry - at one point I even had to pause the story so I wouldn’t cry in front of my husband who was sitting beside me watching the 6 o’clock news. I was totally caught up in the characters and story and my heart was breaking for January. I really enjoyed this book and you probably will too.

Great Getaway
enjoyable listen, not too light, characters developed enough to get to know them. I'd like Emily Henry to write more books for adults.

Love the book
I devoured this book. I think the character growth, romance, and backstory really made the book come to life. This is my first time with one of Allie Henry’s books but it will not be my last.
