Beach Read Book Review

I love me a slushy romance and this is exactly what this was; like a hug in a book, I could forgive it any mishaps simply for its ability to be pure escapism and allow me to get lost in the story of January and Gus. What makes it stand out for me is how layered the story was and how three dimensional the characters felt. Never did I think it was too unrealistic to happen in real life and that’s kind of nice to see in a book – as if our own happily ever afters are just as attainable.

Beach Read is a contemporary, almost stuck-together, romance which follows two writers who reside in cabins next door to each other and who both need to write a book – and quickly! January is at a turning point in her life, having just got out of a long term relationship and also having just lost her dad; Gus on the other hand, seems to have it all together, but as the two of them form an unlikely (or perhaps inevitably likely) friendship, it quickly becomes clear both have things they’d like to hide, and their relationship may be just what they need to end their collective writer’s block.
