What I loved most about Beach Read is that the two characters are writers and bookish, and it is what I love most about Emily Henry's novels in general, that I can see myself and people I know in her characters. I don't remember the laugh-out-loud moments from this one as it has been five years since I've read it, but it was a great, light-hearted read during the pandemic for me and my teacher besties.

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. This is exactly the benefit of this club to me....I read books that I typically may not pick up.
This was definitely a quick beach read. This is not my genre of choice, but I do love the witty banter of Emily Henry’s novels.
This was a reread for me. And I originally gave the book three stars. It moved up to a 4 star read with this reread.Original Read 2023: I enjoyed this story. It was fun to read about two "authors" and their ways of writing. I liked the best friends in the story and what they offered. I thought the main character grew a lot and was fun to read.
There is some language and some sex.
Reread 2025: I actually liked this book better the second time. I don't know if it was because I like the author and am starting to understand her writing style or if it was just a better time in my life for this book. I loved the FMC and the MMC. I liked the aunts in the story and how they helped advance the story. I liked the challenge and there were even some twists that I was not expecting nor did I remember. I would recommend this book.
