So having her parents not be this shining image she always had, changed her. In reality, her life was anything but perfect. She thought she would have the happily ever after with the perfect boyfriend, the perfect family, and the perfect life. But I also think it’s good to have a touch of realism to know that not everything is rainbows and pumpkin carriage rides because it really made her disillusioned with the kind of life she wanted to have. She wrote from a place of love, hope, and optimism about the world. Because even when her mom got sick, she envisioned how their life could be better and how they would find happiness. It fits well with how she writes and what she writes about. January is much like me and loves to believe in a happily ever after and to envision the fairy tale ending. Parent’s are just older kids, and I think we forget that they mess up. It made me see that parent as human-like me. I knew when one of my parents made a huge mistake, it knocked that parent off the pedestal I had of her. So when parents do something wrong or they don’t have all the answers, it knocks them down that pedestal that kids built for them. He/she thinks the parent’s follow every rule, the parent’s don’t make mistakes, the parent’s know everything. It’s also hard because when a person’s young, he/she does have a perfect pedestal image of your parents. She couldn’t ask her dad why he did it, and she couldn’t properly be mad at him-she couldn’t get the closure she wanted. But the dad passing away and this secret coming to light, tarnished this squeaky clean image of her father and that’s what hurt January the most. Did he fall ill? I think that it was mentioned it happened suddenly, which saddens my heart.
Kind of still wondering how he passed away. Obviously, January was going through a lot.įirst, my heart just hurt for her because she found out her dad cheated after he passed away. Because the mom knew the dad was cheating on her, but she still stayed in the relationship, and they both never told January until that moment. The dad wanted January the key because she would actually do something with the house rather than the mother who would just push it aside. January didn’t know the dad cheated until the person he cheated with, Sonya, came to her on the day of the funeral with a key to said beach house. She went to this secret beach house that her dad owned when he was cheating on his mom after she had the news she was ill. January was obviously running away from her issues in the beginning of the book. It was definitely a summer romance type of book, perfect for a beach read, but there was a lot that went on. Did you feel like the title didn’t fit the story line? If you read this book and have an alternative title for it, what would it be? I think maybe something along the lines of Dancing in the Rain, In Your World, World’s A Part, or something. Personally, I understand it too because I kept thinking what else this book should be called, but I couldn’t come up with something that seemed fitting. And at the very end, the VERY END, they read on the beach, but it just didn’t seem like the title fit the storyline. I get it, the main characters live on a beach and they go to the beach sometimes. If I’m being completely honest, which I always try to do with each blog post, the title didn’t really seem fitting for the story itself. So that’s why I bought Beach Read, to live out my unrealistic fantasies right now 😅.

I think we’re all looking for the perfect beach read to read on the beach, and when I say beach I mean, plopping in front of your TV which has a video scape going on of the beach while you’re social distancing at home 😂. Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. 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). 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. 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. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast.
