*Book has never been read, corners came damaged when ordered from a very popular online retailer* Summary: January Andrews writes bestselling romances with happily-ever-afters. Augustus Everett, a renowned literary fiction author, prefers to kill off his characters. They couldn’t be more different—except now they’re stuck in neighboring beach houses for the summer, both broke and battling writer’s block. One impulsive deal changes everything: Augustus will try writing something happy, and January will attempt a serious literary novel. She’ll drag him through rom-com-worthy adventures, while he introduces her to the dark world of cult survivors. The plan? Finish their books. Absolutely not fall in love. But with a summer like this, avoiding a love story might be impossible.
