FINALIST I GOODREADS CHOICE AWARDS FOR BEDSTE ROMANCE 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." – BOOKLIST

Lancés dans un défi, ces deux-là pourraient bien voir leurs convictions sur l’amour et le bonheur bouleversées à jamais...Augustus Everett est un écrivain talentueux, un écrivain "sérieux", le nouveau génie des lettres américaines.January Andrews ne compte plus les bestsellers qu’elle a publiés, mais dans un tout autre registre : la comédie romantique.Quand January écrit des "happy endings", Augustus fait mourir tous ses personnages.Aux antipodes l’un de l’autre, ils vont néanmoins devenir voisins au bord d’un lac le temps d’un été.Au retour d’une soirée organisée par le club de lecture local, les deux écrivains concluent un pacte pour sortir de leurs ornières créatives respectives. Augustus devra passer l’été à écrire un texte joyeux, tandis que January devra signer le prochain grand roman américain. Quand January, pour aider Augustus, organisera des excursions romantiques, lui l’emmènera interviewer les rescapés d’un culte morbide.Chacun devra achever son roman avant la rentrée et bien évidemment, aucun des deux ne devra tomber amoureux.

Hver sommer de seneste ti år er de taget på ferie sammen. Indtil for to år siden, hvor noget gik galt – siden har de ikke talt sammen. Men Poppy indser, at hun savner Alex i sit liv, så hun overtaler ham til at tage med på endnu en rejse. Måske kan hun redde deres venskab, hvis Alex bliver mindet om de gode oplevelser, de har delt i årenes løb? Og hvis de bare kan undgå at tale om det unævnelige, der skete imellem dem dengang, bør det ikke kunne gå helt galt. Men når man er på ferie, kan alt som bekendt ske … ”Inspirerende og dybt romantisk ... smukt skrevet og dejligt original.” – BookPage”En god historie med tyngde – og masser af kærlighed.” 5 hjerter – FEMINA om Strandlæsning ”Efter at have læst Strandlæsning kan jeg officielt kalde Emily Henry en af mine absolutte yndlingsforfattere.” Marta Courtenay, TikTok, om Strandlæsning
