About the author
Emily Henry is an American novelist whose contemporary romances are also books about work, family, friendship, grief, and the stories people tell about their own lives. Her dialogue moves quickly, while the emotional turns are allowed to take their time.
Beach Read is both a romance and a novel about the work of writing romance. Emily Henry keeps the banter quick while allowing grief, money, ambition, and imperfect family histories to complicate the promised ending.
Where to start
Start with Beach Read for the cleanest introduction to Emily Henry's balance of banter, grief, and the work of writing. Choose Book Lovers for a sharper publishing-world comedy, or Funny Story for an unlikely-roommates premise that begins after two other relationships collapse.
