Beach Read by Emily Henry
5.0
This is definitely my favourite romance book that I have read so far in 2022.
I didn't except to love this book as much as I did, but I couldn't put it down. I wanted to read an easy, light and summery book perfect for July, so when I saw the book in my local library, I had to get it. Beach Read really gave me ALL that and even more.
From the first sentence on, I was hooked. It was like the book pulled me into it's story and I couldn't put it down. I took it everywhere with me. I cried, I laughed and most of all I enjoyed it.
January was very relatable to me, from the cheating Dad to her having trouble to process her emotions and from trust in new people. It was like looking into a mirror and that's a big reason why I loved her so much.
Gus, God… He made me giggle and kick my feet. I loved how real and raw his character was, his backstory also made me relate a lot to him.
Not to say that both of them were very me BUT I have to say it.
The Tension. TENSION. It literally made me grip my chair while reading. They went from friends to lovers, and it wasn't forced or rushed, everything came perfectly together. The way both of them realized over the book how much they have in common made me feel even more in awe with their developing relationship.
"When I watch you sleep, I feel overwhelmed that you exist". I will NEVER get over that, this is all I need and want.
This book made my shitty week so much better, and I will definitely get my own copy from the book store next week.
Everybody says "Thank You, Emily Henry".
