FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FUNNY STORY!

A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters.

As featured in The New York Times Book Review ∙ Entertainment Weekly ∙ Oprah Magazine ∙ Betches ∙ Shondaland ∙ Good Morning America ∙ The New York Post ∙ Good Housekeeping ∙ CNN ∙ and more!

Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast.

They’re polar opposites.

In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer's block.

Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She’ll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he’ll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really. Romantic Comedy Women's Fiction

If you're looking for a well-written, romantic, entertaining story, this is the one. Smooth, easy listening, witty, positive, and uplifting. Be ready for a couple of hot sex scenes. Whelan is an excellent narrator, I'm a big fan (she's one of the reasons I came across this book).

Je poursuis ma découverte d'Emily Henry.
Après "People we meet on vacation", sur les conseils des filles d'Adapte-moi si tu peux, je continue ma découverte de l'univers d'Emily Henry.
J'avoue avoir eu un doute sur le côté romance, n'étant pas trop adepte du trope "ennemies to lovers", mais finalement, la romance est passée au second plan, les remises en question de January m'ont beaucoup touchée!

Pas si superficiel!

Not quite for me I guess. I thought it’d be a bit funnier reading the premise. The narrator, when she uses her normal voice, is great, but the second she took a deeper voice to portray Gus put me off every time. It made him sound like an arrogant character. Also, the story is just too easy when it could’ve been much more interesting on their writing process.

Too much
