Lauded as one of the best romance books of the otherwise bleak pandemic era, A Beach Read by Emily Henry became an overnight sensation, a near-instant New York Times Bestseller, and launched its author’s career to sky-high levels.

As you might expect, it is a romance book with tried-and-true tropes and tales, yet it also offers a different perspective with interesting character development and a healthy sprinkle of meta-humor that pokes fun and gives a deeper glance at the writing world.
