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.This sounds like the perfect summer read and I love that these two authors are going outside their writing comfort zones!
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.
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. - from Goodreads
Oh I actually really like the sound of this one! :D
ReplyDeleteThough not as romance heavy as I hoped, I still adored this book. It had these laugh out loud moments, as well as these cutting, deeply emotional moments. The banter between the two main characters was fantastic too, as one would expect from two authors.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I've been really into romances this year, I don't mind that this one has all these other elements to it!
DeleteI am so, so excited for this one! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThis sounds like it will be a fun one! These two do sound like they just might fall for each other. Great pick! Thank you for stopping by my CWW earlier.
ReplyDeleteThank you and you're welcome, Jenea!
DeleteI've had my eye on this one ever since I first came across it. I just love the premise. I've seen Sam mention before (as in her comment) that it's not really romance-heavy, but I'm still wanting to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteMe, too!
DeleteThis one sounds like so much fun, I can't wait to read it either :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
DeleteI've heard a few good things about this one already. Hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barb!
DeleteI am dying to read this one! I just love everything about it. I hope that we both love it. :)
ReplyDeleteMe, too! :-)
DeleteI've been seeing this one around a bit and it sounds like fun! A good summery read too!
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteHaha, I love that a book is named “Beach Read.” I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Right?? Perfect name!
DeleteI'm actually planning to start this one when I go up to bed tonight and I'm very excited for it. It sounds like such a fun read and I've seen good reviews for it.
ReplyDeleteYay, I can't wait to hear your thoughts!
DeleteI love the idea of this one! It sounds like a lot of fun, and I'm curious how each author will approach their summer assignment! I hope you love this one when you read it. Stay safe and well.
ReplyDeleteThank you! You, too!
DeleteThis sounds adorable -- I love these opposites getting into each other's feet and learning who they (and the other) really are!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I can see all sorts of stereotypes being knocked down!
DeleteThanks, Ronyell!
