Beach Read
Synopsis
January Andrews is a romance writer who no longer believes in love. Augustus Everett is a literary fiction author who thinks romance is unrealistic. They're neighbors for the summer in a beach town, both struggling with writer's block.
They make a bet: swap genres for the summer. January will write something dark and literary, Gus will write a love story. The result? They just might end up writing their own love story along the way.
