Used. Paperback. When a burnt-out bestselling romance writer and a grim literary novelist become reluctant beach-house neighbors, they strike a strictly platonic plot-swapping pact to conquer their crippling writer's block. She tries her hand at bleak high art while he attempts to pen a cheery rom-com, leading to a sun-drenched summer of mismatched field trips and sharp banter. Emily Henry delivers a clever, deeply funny collision of cynics that proves heartbreak and happily-ever-afters might just share the same shelf. It’s an exceptionally witty page-turner that brilliantly subverts genre tropes without ever sinking its own ship.
