Story4.5 out of 5 stars 411
Olive Torres is used to being the unlucky twin: from inexplicable mishaps to a recent layoff, her life seems to be almost comically jinxed. By contrast, her sister Ami is an eternal champion...she even managed to finance her entire wedding by winning a slew of contests. Unfortunately for Olive, the only thing worse than constant bad luck is having to spend the wedding day with the best man (and her nemesis), Ethan Thomas.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 412
Naomi wasn’t just running away from her wedding. She was riding to the rescue of her twin. Too bad for Naomi, her evil twin hasn’t changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi’s car and cash, Tina leaves her with a niece she didn’t know she had. Now, she’s stuck in town with no car, no job, no home - and an 11-year-old to take care of. Since Naomi’s life imploded right in front of him, the least Knox can do is help her out. And just as soon as she's out of trouble, he can get back to his peaceful, solitary life. That’s the plan, until the trouble turns to real danger.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 34
Ever since she sat next to me in class and gave me death eyes, Willa Sutter's been on my shit list. Why she hates me, I don't know. What I do know is that Willa is the kind of chaos I don't need in my tidy life. She's the next generation of women's soccer. Wild hair, wilder eyes. Bee-stung lips that should be illegal. And a temper that makes the devil seem friendly. She's a thorn in my side, a menacing, cantankerous pain-in-the-ass who's turned our business mathematics course into a goddamn gladiator arena. I'll leave this war zone unscathed, coming out on top....

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Binge-watched Normal People and Love Is Blind and now looking to escape into another suitably steamy love story? Look no further....
Two writers, one holiday. A romcom waiting to happen....
January is a hopeless romantic who narrates her life like she's the lead in a blockbuster movie.
Gus is a serious literary type who thinks true love is a fairy-tale.
But January and Gus have more in common than you'd think:
They're both broke.
They've got crippling writer's block.
And they need to write best sellers before summer ends.
The result? A bet to swap genres and see who gets published first.
The risk? In telling each other's stories, their worlds might be changed entirely....
Set over one sizzling summer, Beach Read is a witty love story that will make you laugh a lot, cry a little and fall head over heels. For fans of The Flat Share and If I Never Met You.
Critic Reviews
"The hottest book of the summer." (Josie Silver, author of best-selling One Day in December)
"The perfect escapist romp." (Laura Jane Williams, author of Our Stop)

Perfect beach read
I read this book while on holidays at the beach. Thoroughly enjoyed it! I found it to be a classic romantic comedy whilst at the same time it poked fun at the genre. While it didn’t take itself too seriously it was also deep, thoughtful, well written and very funny. Loved it :-)

Interesting Twist
Emily Henry's story crafting is a delight. A simple story, with a twist, that takes you on a journey of self reflection and insights that just creep up and reveal themselves coupled with some laugh out loud moments. Julia Whelan's narration is as always perfect.
Thank you to the both of you!

Good narration but the writing had me cringing
The inner monologue of the main character just had me cringing and skipping ahead in so many parts. Her emotions were so predictable that they were boring. I did buy this just for an easy listen so wasn’t expecting too much. The narration was good.

enjoyable book with flaws
I heavily enjoyed this book towards the last third.
once the characters expand past their love/hate trope it becomes a thoroughly enjoyable novel.
very well read too, characters and emotion are very believable.
in my opinion if you can past the middle act it's well worth it in the end
