About the book
Two rival writers — a romance novelist in a slump and a literary fiction author with writer's block — end up as neighbors for a summer on Lake Michigan and strike a deal to swap genres. What starts as a bet turns into something neither expected.
What I thought
The book that made Emily Henry Emily Henry. Sharp, funny, unexpectedly moving — it's about grief and identity as much as love. I finished it in two sittings and immediately understood the hype.
My verdict
A near-perfect summer romance with real depth.
