I am kind of at a loss with this book. I read some of the reviews that said it was really good so I said why not. I'm a person that could listen to an entire story without hearing the F bomb. This had way too many for my liking. How come author's seem to think that everyone uses or wants to listen to it. There are so many other words you can use instead. Narration was good and for the most part it wasn't too bad.

I was looking for a rom-com from someone I had not read before. Weeks alone during isolation and wfh left me wanting a fresh story.I'm happy I chose this one.My review will be colored by my own experiences - but I laughed, and cried, and giggled, and sighed. And I recommend this book for the meet-cute, and the intropective.

Easy to listen to, nicely developed characters and well written story.The characters are well described and you feel like you get to know them.This is always the sign of a good writer.I also enjoyed the back stories and plot development which lends itself to a great novel.

The greatest cure to the bizarre mania while still being totally board during a Pandemic is a cold drink and this book, Beach Read. I connected with Mrs. Henry’s writing style in a crazy way. The writers block, the chaos and layers of the story she built around January, and the heated tension between the two main characters was the best I’ve read in a while. This book is not a typical romance book and I ADORE the way she deals with the reality of a HEA in her story. I TOTALLY recommend this book to both Women’s Fiction readers AND Romance. This is a very well written book and I spent half the time wanting to study Emily Henry’s writing style. Julia Whelan did an amazing job bringing a newer voice than I have heard jn her other performances. This book makes it to my top three of stories I’ve read in 2020.

I read one book a month and this one was fantastic!!Absolutely loved it!!I want to hug this author and say thank you!

After reading other reader reviews, I thought the story would be a little deeper...this is basically a romance novel. I couldn’t find a connection with either of the main characters, I really never cared what happened to them. I found it really hard to suspend my disbelief that these two would find themselves living right next door to each other in a tiny beachside town...really?!I should have checked to see who the narrator was before I bought the book...I can’t stand the way Julia Whalen does her male voices, it just grates on my nerves. I didn’t care for this book at all, wish I hadn’t wasted a credit.

I think I would listen to anything that Julia Whelan narrates. And I am just so thankful for the honesty in this book. Love and life are not always neatly packaged with happily ever afters, and that happiness can be found in the every day. Even as a happily married person, I can relate to the story and root for all the characters. And I LEARNED so much, including making room in my heart to understand the whole person!!!I should keep writing too! What a book!

There were a few moments where I didn't care so much for the heroine or hero (I can be picky), but, they were few and far between. I really appreciated the take on the characters and their romance, and, enjoyed hearing them in various real-world scenarios. I loved every minute of it, and, would definitely read/listen to this story again in the future.
