Come for the angst stay for the yearning - that's something we craved in The Summer I Turned Pretty, right? Dwyer introduces us to Ellis, who has just graduated high school halfway across the country, far from the familiarities of her old life, including her childhood friend Easton. If you're looking for more love stories told in non-linear, past/present timelines like in Han's series, look no further than Dwyer’s debut novel. You can also try the audiobook version through Libro.fm. Get it from Bookshop or from your local indie bookstore via Indiebound. They'll coach each other through their own research processes along the way, and they definitely, definitely will not catch feelings. After getting to know each other a little better, they decide to strike a deal: January will attempt to write something a little more serious while Augustus will explore the world of happy endings.

Her neighbor, Augustus, is a grumpy writer dealing with his own mental blocks when it comes to life and love. January has recently lost her father and has come to his beach house to attempt to find closure. Those who enjoyed the relationship between Laurel and Cleveland in The Summer I Turned Pretty TV series will absolutely love the dynamic between January and Augustus in Beach Read. Both Augustus and January are writers - literary fiction and romance, respectively - and over the summer, they struggle with their current works-in-progress.

Sam and percy every summer after
