This book is everything.

Ever since I read the ARC for People We Meet on Vacation almost a month ago, I’ve been craving this book. In my review I said People We Meet on Vacation would be one of my favorite books of 2021. Well, Beach Read made it to the all-time favorites list. That’s how much I loved it.

There's the fluffy, feel-good, laugh-out-loud romances and then there's the Emily Henry romances, which somehow manage to completely wreck you and make you feel giddy at the same time. If you ever read this, Emily Henry, please keep writing about the Januarys and Guses and the Poppys and Alexes of the world because I’ll sure keep craving to read about them.

This is the perfect second-chance, opposites-attract, enemies-to-lovers romance (because why stick to just one trope?) and they’re writers, so bonus points for that. I loved all the characters, their perspectives, the drive-in scene, the letters (omg the damn letters had me sobbing) and just about everything in this book really. Maybe, just to be picky, when you-know-who shows up I didn’t get why January shut down without even talking to him, I mean it wasn’t his fault, he did nothing wrong. Like I kinda get it but also don’t.

Anyways, I loved it. A lot. Will definitely re-read.
