Overview
Emily Henry’s beloved New York Times bestselling novel now in this stunning hardcover collector’s edition featuring:
• A shimmering revamped cover
• Sunset sky art endpapers and sprayed edges
• Gold foil stamped case, and...
• A new introduction from the author and a bonus January and Gus epilogue, “The Layover”
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.
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.
Then 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.
“A tender, thoughtful, and very funny book…it’s not only convincing but infectious.”—The New York Times Book Review
