I enjoyed this one much more than most romance novels. I think because it felt like a romance between two real people with a lot of chemistry. There's a lot of great banter. It cracked me up that it is called "Beach Read" because although it is set on a beach neither of the protagonists has much interest in the beach. I also enjoyed the premise of a romance writer trying to write a serious literary book while the serious literary writer tries to write a book with a happy ending.
