Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. 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). ![]() 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. 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. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. ![]()

And I guess it's a stretch to really like this, but it's a fun and great premise to me.
