I came across a comment buried in a thread somewhere raving about this book, and even though it doesn't have the type of candy-colored illustrated cover I usually go for (yes, I'm that type of reader), I'm so glad I took a chance on it. Luckily, they strike up a deal to help each other out, and a fake relationship ensues - only the fake relationship starts to feel a little too real. and coaching soccer at her old high school, which is where Jake, her high-school crush, also teaches. Of course, she never would have imagined her fresh start to consist of teaching P.E. Rock Bottom Girl by Lucy Score ($15) follows Marley as she moves back home hoping for a fresh start. I did feel like this book touched on themes that were a little more serious, but that just made the romance between Sam and Duncan all the sweeter, in my opinion. Similar to Beach Read, there's also the plot element of a bet/challenge that forces the characters to spend time together. They're both different now, having dealt with traumatic experiences, but the connection and chemistry are still there. There are two characters who knew each other before and who reconnect after some time apart. Thematically, I would say this book is the most similar to Beach Read out of the ones I've read. Why has he changed? And more importantly, can he - and they - find their way to happiness? So when Duncan, the new school principal (and Sam's former fun-loving colleague and love interest), shows up and is intent on sucking the joy out of everything Sam loves, she's determined to figure him out. In What You Wish For by Katherine Center ($14, originally $28), Samantha is a quirky librarian who takes finding joy very seriously. If you too liked Beach Read for its sweet romance between characters who have a history, a hate-(but secretly love)-to-love trope, and witty banter, then you might enjoy one of the books ahead, all of which feature these same themes.
In short, the buzz around this book has been incessant - and completely warranted.Įver since I devoured it (the first time), I've been trying to chase all the feels I felt while reading, and while it will still remain my personal one to beat, I've found several that came close.
Since its debut in May, it has consistently topped must-read lists for romance enthusiasts and even won best romance book in our first-ever 2020 POPSUGAR Book Club Awards. I know I'm not alone when I say the book was my No. You know that feeling you get when you're reading a book so good, you can't stop thinking about it and time is suddenly divided into when you're reading it and when you're not? That's what reading Beach Read by Emily Henry was like for me. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
