I'll admit, romance novels are not my favorite but this one was so incredibly fun!
Writer January has recently lost her father and is supposed to be on track to finish her next novel by the end of summer. After her father's death, she discovered a nasty secret. Her beloved father has kept not only a secret beach house, but a secret lover. She moves into this beach house that has been left to her, thinking she can start anew and crank out her novel. She is incredibly reluctant to read the letter her father left her, she would rather not know the excuses he has for betraying her mother. Little does January know, next door lives one of her college rivals: Gus Everett. January purportedly refuses to still believe in love, and therefore is stuck on finishing her next book. Gus and January get to talking and decide to begin a game. The game is writing each other's usual themes: Gus with a typical American dark novel, and January's typical happy romantic story. They go on adventures one weekend after another and soon find not only inspiration, but feelings for each other.
What I liked most about this was the way it really immerses you in the way it feels to develop a crush on someone! I felt the butterflies! Excellent writing style on that front.
