This was an impulse buy last weekend for a last-gasp-of-summer read, and it solidly served its purpose. It’s a fairly predictable rom-com about two writers, Gus and January, who were enemies in their college writing program, always in a silent war of who was the better writer. Years later, they’re reunited when January spends the summer at her father’s beach house on Lake Michigan — a place she only learned existed after he died and she learned about it from his former mistress. So she goes there to heal and work on her next book, and she discovers Gus living next door, also working on his book. The rest is history. The book is very funny sometimes, and very sad at other times as she processes her father’s hidden past and comes to terms with his sudden death. The part of the book that I was most drawn to was actually each of their writing processes, which wasn’t necessarily the point, I suppose. 3-3.5/5 stars for me, but I’m not typically a rom-com reader. Bookstagram just raved about this. You may love it.
