“Falling’s the part that takes your breath away. It’s the part when you can’t believe you’re the person standing in front of you both exists and happened to wander into your path. It’s supposed to make you feel lucky to alive, exactly when and where you are.” ✨📚✨📚✨ Beach Read by Emily Henry is a fiendishly clever contemporary romance novel centring around two writers and a bet. I thought the premise of this book was incredibly clever. Two writers struggling with their next novel, as well as their own personal issues, and so a bet is formed: write a book in the others genre and get published first. What follows next is a slow burn frenemies to lovers romance that was as romantic as it was sarcastic. I absolutely adored the banter and the eventual relationship between January Andrews and Augustus ‘Gus’ Everett. That being said, I think why I loved this book so much was because it discussed some emotionally hard hitting topics which added depth to both the book, but also to the characters and their development. I love when romance stories have angst/drama that comes from outside of the relationship, rather than because of/about the relationship, and I feel like there was a fantastic balance between the two. I was a fan of Henry’s writing style. It was descriptive and lyrical. It was also really fascinating to read the narrative alongside the book January was writing, but I was a bit disappointed that went didn’t get to see Gus’s point of view or parts of his novel. Overall, though, I really loved this novel and I can’t wait to pick up my books from this author! ✨📚✨📚✨ Beach Read is book 27 for 2022. #bookstragram #books #booksofinstagram #booklover #bookphoto #reading #aussieswhoread #avidreader #bookwhore #aussiereader #bookdragon #reader #readersofig #booksofig #bookcommunity #bookish #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #booklife #bookaddict #girlswhoread #readinggoals2022 #auskiwibooksta #bookquote #beachread #emilyhenry #emilyhenrybeachread #booksaboutwriting #contemporaryromance https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc4xb9qLlyb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
