Okay, backstory - i wanted to read something fun and not challenging while on vacation in Cyprus and thought this was perfect. Nobody informed me that I would stay awake almost every night until 3am (including the night we had to fly back) just to read 1 more chapter. At some point I started dreading having to go to bed because it was so fun!!! 

This is my first book of Emily Henry and yes, I've already got every other book of hers.

Honestly, I wouldn't say it's "perfect" but it was so fun! I think what most intrigued me is the plot!!!! It's not that original but it's different and it's smooth and lovely to read. Just goes so fast and it's almost natural.

There are some flaws to me such as the heavy drinking that's happening throughout the book. I honestly don't think it's okay for a book to revolve around alcohol so much. And now that I'm reading Book Lovers it's pretty much the same but at least not as heavy. Also there are soooo many cringe-y internal monologues and phrases I wish i'd skip over them. Maybe the target audience is below 25 and thus why I didn't enjoy that but it was enough to throw me off. Do I go off on the topic about the main characters missing communication? Basic human skill? Get it together, man, y'all are grown-ups.

Btw, what the fuck was that thing with the cult?

It was a good read regardless of my comments. I've needed this fast read.

P.s. why is it called "Beach Read"? Genuine question.
