I guess I’m in the minority when I say this book was just fine.
The characters were fine, the writing was fine, the sideplot was fine, everything was just fine.
There was some beautiful moments, I’ll give Beach Read that. Also why Beach Read? There is absolutely no reading at all beach if I remember correctly, mostly writing at beach houses.
Also Gus kept saying that he fell in love with January’s writing. Im sorry, did we read the same snippets of writing?!? Because it was completely bland, a 5th grader could have written better prose.

The ending with the letters had me wanting to break down and cry, it was so beautiful and full circle and sweet and UGH I LIKED IT OK
The romance was wonderful, I loved Gus, that moody, leaning, secretive, little bastard.
At times, January’s inner monologue got a smidge repetitive as she constantly circling back to her daddy issues, but understandably so considering the circumstances, I guess.
Also having characters named both January and AUGUSTus - Emily had some fun. Good for her, we love months!
Overall, a really fun vacation read! Thanks for the rec, Lizzie!
