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. Theyβre polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, theyβre living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writerβs block. Until, 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. Sheβll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and heβll 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.
