This spoke to me. I read a lot of fantasy and unrealistic fiction. This was refreshing. Grounded in real life emotions and experiences and humour. The final few chapters didn’t deliver as much as I’d hoped but I will be reading this again. Highlighting and annotating the humour and spice and most importantly the emotional and philosophical reflections.

I would say overall this book was good! I really enjoyed it, and definitely cried at some parts. I definitely didn't like the 'typical' parts where the girl assumes the feelings of the guy. I get why she did that, etc, but it's just hard to read. I feel like I've read it a million times. I would recommend this book to people that like 'grumpy-sunshine' tropes or 'rivals-to-lovers' (sort of, it's more like misunderstood rivals-to-lovers or one-sided). It had good writing, there are a few good quotes that I really loved that the writer includes during parts where the MC is being introspective. I would say that this story is more of a good one rather than an okay one, was a good read, but was predictable. And I kind of didn't like the ending either.

My rating system:
5 ⭐ = Great story, loved it, would definitely recommend to everyone
4 ⭐ = Good story, enjoyed it, worth the read, would recommend it to people that like this genre
3 ⭐ = Okay story, some predictable parts, it was fine
2 ⭐ = Lame story, boring, kept losing interest
1 ⭐ = Terrible story, couldn't finish

Relatable and complicated characters, believable romance, a bit of spice...this story has everything! Just a very sweet story where enemies become friends ultimately become lovers. What's not to love?

Enjoyed watching these two go from polar opposites to slowly finding each other. Mild spice level goes nicely with the rest of the writing style.

Have you ever re-read a book and noticed how it always hits in a different way? The way that time and experience color what you take out of a story and what its various pieces mean to you? How critical it truly is for a book to come into your life at just the right time?
I started Beach Read at just the right time. So much of this book hit home for me. Everything - from the experience of writing to finding oneself in awkward situations to desperately wanting happy endings even when they seem out of grasp - made me feel so wonderfully connected to others at a time when it's far too easy to feel alone.
Hats off to Emily Henry for this lovely book on romance, writer's block, and perfect moments. 

P. S. Additional hats off for Julie Whelan's narration!
