Beach Read by Emily Henry
5.0

I don’t even know where to begin with this one. It was so much more than I expected.

First of all the story and the characters aren’t cliched, they’re relatable and likeable and don’t make those annoying decisions that make you want to shake them!

The story itself is emotional and relatable again, it’s complex - like life and family is - and genuinely interesting. It has realistic outcomes and it’s a novel concept in itself.

I really enjoyed Emily’s writing style and loved the plot.

The setting was beautiful but with a back story and I just loved the dynamics between family members and friendships.

This is a brilliant contemporary fiction novel and I’ll 100% be going through the authors back catalogue! Thank you Penguin & NetGalley!
