Emily Henry

I denne gnistrende sommerromance indgår to forfattere med skriveblokering et skæbnesvangert væddemål, som kan vise sig at vende op og ned på alle deres overbevisninger om kærlighed, litteratur og lykkelige slutninger.STRANDLÆSNING er en sjov, klog og romantisk fortælling om kærlighed, tab og familiehemmeligheder – og om at opdage, at lykken kan findes i selv de mindste øjeblikke.Augustus Everett og January Andrews er som nat og dag. Han er anmelderrost romanforfatter, hun skriver romantiske bestsellere. Han er en sortsynet realist, hun er en ægte drømmer. De har dog én ting til fælles: De lider begge to af skriveblokering. En aften indgår de et væddemål: I løbet af de næste tre måneder skal de bytte roller. Augustus skal skrive en romance, og January skal skrive en litterær roman. Ingen problemer! Inden sommeren er ovre, vil de begge have skrevet en bog, og ingen kommer til at forelske sig … overhovedet."Tindrer ligesom eftermiddagssolen i havoverfladen på en smuk dag på stranden, men det er også en bog, der gør indtryk, længe efter at solen er gået ned, og sandet er børstet af tæerne."– ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY "En charmerende kærlighedshistorie, der slår benene væk under én og får hjertet til at banke."

FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FUNNY STORY A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters. As featured in The New York Times Book Review ∙ Entertainment Weekly ∙ Oprah Magazine ∙ Betches ∙ Shondaland ∙ Good Morning America ∙ The New York Post ∙ Good Housekeeping ∙ CNN ∙ and more Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast. They're polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer's block. Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She'll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he'll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.

Alice Scott er i starten av trettiårene og drømmer fremdeles om å slå gjennom som seriøs skribent. Hun er overbevist om at biografien om Margareth Ives – it-jenta som brått forsvant ut av rampelyset på 1970-tallet – vil bli hennes store gjennombrudd. Alice drar til Little Crescent Island for å møte den mystiske Margareth. Men på øya møter hun også den prisvinnende forfatteren Hayden Anderson, ute i samme ærend. Margareth gir dem én måned med separate intervjuer før hun bestemmer seg for hvem som skal få skrive biografien hennes, og de går begge med på det. Men kan de stole på historiene Margareth forteller?
