Beach Read

Two writers. One holiday. A romcom waiting to happen...

Praise for Beach Read

"One of my favourite authors" — Colleen Hoover, It Ends With Us

"A great love story" — Jodi Picoult, Wish You Were Here

"The perfect escapist romp" — Laura Jane Williams, One Night With You

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 bestsellers 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.
