Beach Read exclusive edition (Hardback)

Release date: 28/08/2025

Emily Henry’s beloved New York Timesbestselling novel now in this stunning hardcover collector’s edition featuring:

• A gorgeous revamped cover
• Sunset endpapers and sprayed edges
• Gold foil stamped case, and...
• A new introduction from the author and a bonus January and Gus epilogue, “The Layover”

Two writers. One holiday. A romcom waiting to happen.

January is a hopeless romantic who narrates her life like she's the lead in a blockbuster movie. 

Gus is a serious literary type who thinks true love is a fairy-tale.

But January and Gus have more in common than you'd think:

They're both broke.
They've got crippling writer's block.
And they need to write bestsellers before summer ends.

The result? A bet to swap genres and see who gets published first.
The risk? In telling each other's stories, their worlds might be changed entirely...

Set over one sizzling summer, Beach Read is a witty love story that will make you laugh a lot, cry a little and fall head over heels. For fans of The Flat Share and If I Never Met You.
