FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FUNNY STORY!
A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters.

Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast.
They’re polar opposites.
In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they’re living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer’s block.
Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She’ll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he’ll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.
Customers say
Customers find the book well-written with clever banter between characters, and appreciate how the stories feel real and relevant. Moreover, the characters are remarkably relatable, with struggles that feel authentic, and the book moves readers emotionally with elements about grief and growth. Customers describe it as a cute read with beautiful imagery, and one customer notes it’s a perfect combination of relatable elements. However, the pacing receives mixed reviews, with some finding it slow, and the dialogue quality is also mixed, with some appreciating the good dialogue while others find it awkward.
