Inhaltsangabe
FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION AND BOOK LOVERS!
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 best-selling 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.

Amazing!
I so loved this book! What a great story, you fall in love with the characters immediately. The narrator told the story so wonderful, I laughed out loud and I cried and was so deeply touched. For me this is a story about love, but not only between two persons, but about living life to the fullest, and daring to love to the fullest. And about the love we have for our parents. And of course about the love of books, both writing and reading. Which makes it perfect. Thank you for this book. I am so very grateful.

GANZ anders
alle Beschreibungen klingen nach RomKom.
Aber das ist es nicht.
Nicht wirklich.
Viel tiefer.
Viel dunkler.
Gaaaanz anders.
UND: das Ende ist anders als im Buch.
Ich weiß nicht, ob ich DAS so gut finde ...

a great beach read
I thought this book was going to be a nice light read. It was a great read and as I listened to it I got more and more intrigued. The story was so good I was sorry to finish it. Always a good sign.

Not my book...
Ok, so I havn't written a review in years. But I feel like I have to now. First of all, a warning about possible Spoilers. I don't mean to give too much away but my reasons for not liking this book are because of the story and the writing, so I may have to get into the plot a bit. At the moment, I tend to only listen to Rom-Coms, because they are usually light and funny, sweet and sometimes swoon-worthy. So when I searched for a new book and/or author, I've gone through the recommendations from Amazon due to the books I've ordered before. And everywhere I looked, I've always stumbled over this new writer Emily Henry and her books that everyone and their dogs were talking about. So I got the book of hers with the most positive reviews. Overhyped books tend to be a hit or miss for me but in the last months, I usually had Hits. I went into this book a few of my favorite authors recommended even before you get to read the description on the sales-page, so what the heck, right?! Sadly, this was a total miss for me. Whereas others describe it as a 'breath of fresh air' and other similar praises, I started to feel my excitement for this story fizzle out of me at about 2 hours into it. The only time I actually smiled a bit (not even laughed) was, when the female lead thought about her best friend and her driving skills, or lack thereof. Now, the story was anything but a light 'Beach Read', like the title would suggest. Both MC's were obviously in crisis mode from start to finish. It seemed like they always had to talk about the most depressing subjects in their lives. It didn't matter what the setting, whenever one of them seemed to improve the mood, the other usually went and nubbed it in the bud. At a certain point of repeat occurence of this unfortunate phenomenon, I almost hoped they would stay as far away from each other as possible. This lead to a lack in chemistry IMO. They started touching each other and kissing, whenever it got to a point where they might find a solution for their dilemmas. But no, to me it felt like they only touched as a distraction. And until well into 2/3 of the book, they ALWAYS seemed to fight after this pattern. Then it's wash, rinse, repeat. That has gotten so exhausting to me, that I had to skip to the last chapter to find out about the ending. As much as I tried to keep an open mind, I just couldn't bring myself to keep on listening. Plus, it didn't feel like a romance to me AT ALL - it was rather a culmination of all of their problems and the two MC's finding themselfes in the same proximity by default. All this internal monologue, jammering on and on about stuff like divorce, death of parents, past domestic violence - and as a 'bonus' the sad tale about survivors of a cult thrown in, because the rest of the stuff wasn't depressing enough - everything else in this book (secondary characters, the surroundings, the 'humor'...) had been overshadowed by this heavy struggle of the two leads. At certain points it felt more like a meeting of my psychotherapy group than a romance novel. And that's just not what I personally want out of certain genres I read! I really feel like I was mislead and honestly regret giving this book a try. As for the writing style of author Emily Henry, I think she's not a bad writer, but she seemed to drift off at some poignant parts of the book. Whenever there was the potential for 'more', her characters seemed to get lost in the same monologues in their heads, over and over again. Then the repetitive description of the male lead's "crooked mouth", for example. After mainly hearing him described as 'Gus with the crooked smile/lips/mouth', I started picturing a figure in an abstract painting. If that was supposed to make the obviously grouchy mMC more approachable, it didn't work with me. So, to sum it all up, I gave up on the book 2 thirds of the story in because the writing gave me whiplash and the characters depressed me. And I rooted for them to rather find help for their past trauma, rather than get together. And THAT is something I havn't thought about two people in books for approx. 500+ reads. Make of it what you wish.
The narrator did an excellent job, BTW. I liked listening to her voice. So, 5 Stars for narration and sadly only 1,5 Stars for the book itself. But obviously I'm in the minority here - just wanted to give an honest opinion from the viewpoint of someone who didn't love the story.

Schönes Buch.
Schöne Romanze. Hat gut getan dieses Buch zu hören. Es war auch einige Male ziemlich unerwartet emotional. :) Die Sprecherin war übrigens top. Total angenehme Stimme!

Dive in and enjoy!
Ich mag die Sprecherin sehr gerne und fand die premise nicht schlecht, drum wagte ich es einfach mal mit dem Buch, in der Hoffnung dass es so augenzwinkernd ist wie der Titel selbst. Das Buch war mehr als das. Habe oft laut aufgelacht und gehofft, dass January kriegt was sie will, aber sich nicht zu wollen traut.

It was great! :)
I started the audiobook Friday after work and finished it Saturday evening. I had my earphones in nearly all the time and did everything while listening to the story. Cooking, cleaning, Shopping... You name it.
The voice of the speaker is nice to listen to and she really did a great job here.
The story does not focus as much on the romance as the description might suggest and I really liked that aspect since I hoped it wouldn't be to cheesy. But the story focuses more on the development of the characters and how your environment makes you into the person you are. I really loved this aspect and therefor I give 5 stars for the story. Although I mentioned that there is not too much romance we get a nice love story, great dialogues and chemistry between the characters and brilliant insides on how communication can be difficult sometimes.
All in all I really enjoyed listening to it. :)

Loved it
It's another Emily Henrys book and i fell in love yet again. It's a fun, light (but not too light) read and managed to pull me under its spell. It actually reminded me of book lovers in some ways though this is a completley different story and setting and those 2 books don't really have too much in common :)

Worth reading
Would definitely recommend reading. Sweet but also thoughtful. I enjoyed the narrator just as much as when I listened to her in Book Lovers.

Must-Read for Romcom Lovers
I fell in love head over heels with this book in January (pun intended). I enjoyed the story very much. I had a smile plastered on my face almost throughout the whole book. Listening to this romance story left me with a very happy feeling, like drinking your favorite warm and cozy drink on a cold winter day. This was the second book by Emily Henry I read. It’s also the second time I read/listened to one of her books within two days! The plot and characters are so interesting and entertaining to me, which is why I couldn’t get enough. I didn’t want this story to end…like ever. I love how the meaning of Happy Ends is described in this book. The message and the learnings this book shares with the reader. It’s a perfect read for any season. January and Gus make me believe in love, second chances, a happy now and a happy ending. Everything is possible when you open up for the possibilities to enter your life. Read this book! You’ll love it.
