Emily Henry

This is an extended Beach Read epilogue.

For as long as Jack “June” O’Donnell has been alive, her parents have had only one rule: stay away from the Angert family. But when June collides—quite literally—with Saul Angert, sparks fly, and everything June has known is thrown into chaos. Who exactly is this gruff, sarcastic, but seemingly harmless boy who has returned to their hometown of Five Fingers, Michigan, after three mysterious years away? And why has June—an O’Donnell to her core—never questioned her late father’s deep hatred of the Angert family? After all, the O’Donnells and the Angerts may have mythic legacies, but for all the tall tales they weave, both founding families are tight-lipped about what caused the century-old rift between them. As Saul and June’s connection grows deeper, they find that the magic, ghosts, and coywolves of Five Fingers seem to be conspiring to reveal the truth about the harrowing curse that has plagued their bloodlines for generations. Now June must question everything she knows about her family and the father she adored, and she must decide whether it’s finally time for her—and all the O’Donnells before her—to let go.

Almost everyone in the small town of Splendor, Ohio, was affected when the local steel mill exploded. If you weren't a casualty of the accident yourself, chances are a loved one was. That's the case for seventeen-year-old Franny, who, five years after the explosion, still has to stand by and do nothing as her brother lies in a coma. In the wake of the tragedy, Franny found solace in a group of friends whose experiences mirrored her own. The group calls themselves The Ordinary, and they spend their free time investigating local ghost stories and legends, filming their exploits for their small following of YouTube fans. It's silly, it's fun, and it keeps them from dwelling on the sadness that surrounds them. Until one evening, when the strange and dangerous thing they film isn't fiction--it's a bright light, something massive hurtling toward them from the sky. And when it crashes and the teens go to investigate...everything changes.

Natalie Cleary must risk her future and leap blindly into a vast unknown for the chance to build a new world with the boy she loves. Natalie’s last summer in her small Kentucky hometown is off to a magical start... until she starts seeing the “wrong things.” They’re just momentary glimpses at first—her front door is red instead of its usual green, there’s a pre-school where the garden store should be. But then her whole town disappears for hours, fading away into rolling hills and grazing buffalo, and Nat knows something isn’t right. That’s when she gets a visit from the kind but mysterious apparition she calls “Grandmother,” who tells her: “You have three months to save him.” The next night, under the stadium lights of the high school football field, she meets a beautiful boy named Beau, and it’s as if time just stops and nothing exists. Nothing, except Natalie and Beau. Emily Henry’s stunning debut novel is Friday Night Lights meets The Time Traveler’s Wife, and perfectly captures those bittersweet months after high school, when we dream not only of the future, but of all the roads and paths we’ve left untaken.

A dazzling and sweeping new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry!

Eigentlich hat die abenteuerlustige Poppy in New York alles, was sie sich schon immer gewünscht hat. Wirklich glücklich war sie trotzdem seit jenem Sommer-Urlaub vor zwei Jahren nicht mehr, als sie zum letzten Mal mit ihrem besten Freund Alex verreist ist. Seitdem haben sie nicht mal mehr miteinander gesprochen. Also fasst Poppy sich ein Herz und bittet Alex, noch einmal mit ihr in Urlaub zu fahren, um über alles zu reden. Wie durch ein Wunder sagt er zu. Jetzt darf nur diese eine Wahrheit nicht zur Sprache kommen, die seit zehn Jahren still und heimlich im Zentrum ihrer scheinbar perfekten Freundschaft steht …

A shimmering, joyful new novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common. Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it…right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra. Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children’s librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak. Scruffy and chaotic—with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads—Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she’s either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them? But it’s all just for show, of course, because there’s no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex…right?

Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love. Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She’s a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart—she’s in New York City, and he’s in their small hometown—but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together. Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven’t spoken since. Poppy has everything she should want, but she’s stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together—lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees. Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?

Daphne sempre adorou a maneira como seu noivo, Peter, contava a história deles. Como eles se conheceram (em um dia de ventania), se apaixonaram (por causa de um chapéu errante) e voltaram para a cidade natal dele à beira do lago para começar a vida juntos. Ele era muito bom em contar tudo isso... até o momento em que percebeu que estava apaixonado por sua melhor amiga de infância, Petra. É assim que Daphne começa sua nova história: presa na bela cidadezinha de Waning Bay, no Michigan, sem amigos nem família, mas com o emprego dos sonhos como bibliotecária infantil (que mal paga as contas) e morando no apartamento da única pessoa que consegue entender sua situação, o ex de Petra, Miles Nowak. Desalinhado e caótico — e com uma queda por canções de amor de partir o coração —, Miles é o exato oposto da prática e discreta Daphne, de quem os colegas de trabalho sabem tão pouco que apostam que ela é do FBI ou está em um programa de proteção a testemunhas. Daphne e Miles conseguem evitar um ao outro na maior parte do tempo, até que um dia, enquanto afogam as mágoas, fazem uma tênue amizade e um plano. Se esse plano envolve a publicação de fotos sugestivas dos dois juntos em aventuras de verão, bem... quem pode culpá-los? Mas é tudo fingimento, claro, porque não tem como Daphne começar o novo capítulo da sua vida se apaixonando pelo ex da atual noiva do seu ex-noivo... certo?

SI ADORAS LOS LIBROS, ÉSTE NO TE LO PUEDES PERDER Un verano. Dos rivales. Un giro de guion que no vieron venir... Un fenómeno mundial de TikTok. Más de 100 semanas en la lista de los libros más vendidos del New York Times. PREMIO GOODREADS A MEJOR COMEDIA ROMÁNTICA. «UNA DE MIS AUTORAS FAVORITAS.» Colleen Hoover «La comedia romántica perfecta. Probablemente la mejor novela de Emily Henry» Taylor Jenkins Reid, autora de Los siete maridos de Evelyn Hugo Eran rivales. Ahora coinciden todo un verano en el mismo pueblo. La historia puede sorprenderles a ambos. Nora Stephens se ha pasado la vida entre libros; es una dura agente literaria que pelea por las obras y los contratos de cada uno de sus clientes. Solo hay una cosa que esté por encima de su trabajo: su hermana pequeña Libby, a la que lleva cuidando desde que su madre falleció. Por eso decide acceder a su petición e ir con ella a Sunshine Falls, el lugar en el que se ambienta su libro favorito. Allí, Libby pretende realizar un viaje de transformación en el que sigan los puntos de sus novelas favoritas hasta lograr que Nora sea la protagonista de su propia novela. Con lo que ninguna de las dos cuenta es con toparse con Charlie Lastra, un editor con el que Nora ya había tenido un encontronazo en Nueva York y que amenaza con convertirse en una presencia constante en sus vacaciones. A veces, ni siquiera una agente literaria y un editor son capaces de escribir su propia historia.

Os livros são a vida de Nora Stephens ― e ela definitivamente não é o tipo de heroína dos livros. Não é a garota impulsiva, nem a descontraída, muito menos a imagem da meiguice. Na verdade, as únicas pessoas para quem Nora pode ser considerada uma heroína são seus clientes, para os quais ela consegue contratos polpudos como agente literária, além de sua amada irmã mais nova, Libby. E é por isso que Nora concorda em passar o verão em Sunshine Falls, Carolina do Norte, quando Libby implora por uma viagem de irmãs. Secretamente, Libby espera que uma autêntica experiência no interior transforme a vida de Nora, que a irmã está convencida de que precisa se tornar a heroína de sua própria história. Mas, em vez de piqueniques no campo ou encontros inesperados com um belo médico, ou quem sabe com um barman musculoso, Nora esbarra em Charlie Lastra, um editor ranzinza que ela conhece de Nova York. Seria um daqueles encontros fofos se não fosse o fato de que eles já se viram antes ― e nunca foi fofo. Se Nora sabe que não é a heroína ideal, Charlie também sabe que não é o herói de ninguém. Mas, à medida que se veem juntos repetidas vezes ― em uma série de coincidências que nenhum editor que se preze permitiria ―, o que eles descobrem pode acabar por deslindar as histórias cuidadosamente elaboradas que eles escreveram sobre si mesmos.

One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming.... Nora Stephens’ life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away—with visions of a small-town transformation for Nora, who she’s convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute. If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again—in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow—what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they’ve written about themselves.

Harriet and Wyn have been the perfect couple since they met in college—they go together like salt and pepper, honey and tea, lobster and rolls. Except, now—for reasons they’re still not discussing—they don’t. They broke up six months ago. And still haven’t told their best friends. Which is how they find themselves sharing the largest bedroom at the Maine cottage that has been their friend group’s yearly getaway for the last decade. Their annual respite from the world, where for one vibrant, blue week they leave behind their daily lives; have copious amounts of cheese, wine, and seafood; and soak up the salty coastal air with the people who understand them most. Only this year, Harriet and Wyn are lying through their teeth while trying not to notice how desperately they still want each other. Because the cottage is for sale and this is the last week they’ll all have together in this place. They can’t stand to break their friends’ hearts, and so they’ll play their parts. Harriet will be the driven surgical resident who never starts a fight, and Wyn will be the laid-back charmer who never lets the cracks show. It’s a flawless plan (if you look at it from a great distance and through a pair of sunscreen-smeared sunglasses). After years of being in love, how hard can it be to fake it for one week… in front of those who know you best? A couple who broke up months ago make a pact to pretend to still be together for their annual weeklong vacation with their best friends in this glittering and wise new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry.

A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters. 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. They’re polar opposites. 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. 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. 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). Everyone will finish a book and no-one will fall in love. Really.

Novo romance de Emily Henry, autora do hit Leitura de verão. Com diálogos espertos, charme e coração, Lugar feliz traz a história de um casal indeciso, presos numa mentira. E dos melhores amigos deles, que a vida está levando em direções diferentes. Harriet e Wyn são o casal dos sonhos desde a faculdade — eles sempre foram perfeitos juntos, como sal e pimenta, mel e chá, queijo e goia­bada. Só que agora — por razões sobre as quais não conversam — eles não combinam mais. Faz cinco meses que Harriet e Wyn terminaram, e ainda não contaram aos seus melhores amigos. Assim, continuam dividindo o maior quarto da casa no Maine onde sua turma de amigos passa férias há uma década. Todo ano, por uma semana vibrante e colorida, eles dão uma pausa na rotina e vão beber vinho, se empanturrar de queijo e frutos do mar e curtir a praia com as suas pessoas favoritas. Só que este ano Harriet e Wyn estão mentindo na cara dura enquanto tentam disfarçar que ainda se querem desesperadamente. Porque a casa no Maine está à venda, e esta é a última semana que os amigos terão para ficar juntos no paraíso. Harriet e Wyn não querem estra­gar as férias, então fingem que está tudo bem. Ela vai continuar sendo a médica-residente motivada que jamais começa uma briga, e ele, o cara charmoso e descontraído que nunca deixa transparecer os problemas. É um plano infalível — se você olhar bem de lon­ge e com óculos de sol com manchas de protetor solar nas lentes. Depois de anos apaixonados, não deve ser tão difícil fingir por apenas uma semana, na frente das pessoas que conhecem os dois como ninguém… certo?

La sua vita è tra i libri, ma Nora Stephens non è la classica eroina da romanzo, anzi. Non è impavida, non è la ragazza dei sogni e nemmeno quella della porta accanto. A dirla tutta, Nora è un’eroina solo per gli autori, perché è l’agente letteraria più spregiudicata di New York e grazie al cinismo che la contraddistingue riesce sempre a spuntare contratti milionari per i suoi clienti. L’unica persona con cui non riesce a essere spietata è la sorella. Ecco perché, quando Libby la implora di andare a trovarla nel paesino del North Carolina in cui si è trasferita, Nora non riesce a dirle di no. E chissà, magari una piccola vacanza potrebbe farle bene. Ma invece dei picnic nei prati e dei battibecchi romantici con affascinanti dottori di campagna o baristi muscolosi che sognava, Nora si scontra con un’amara realtà. L’unico uomo in cui non fa altro che imbattersi è Charlie Lastra, un editor di New York tenebroso e molto snob. Potrebbe anche essere una simpatica coincidenza, se non fosse che si sono già incontrati molte volte per lavoro… e non è mai stato piacevole. Al contrario, i due si odiano…

Da quando si sono conosciuti, al college, Harriet e Wyn sono sempre stati “la coppia perfetta”: stavano bene insieme come il sale e il pepe, il tè e il miele, il pane e il salame . Poi, chissà perché, le cose sono cambiate. Eppure, nonostante siano passati già cinque mesi dalla rottura, ancora non l’hanno detto ai loro migliori amici. Ed è così che si ritrovano a condividere la stessa stanza (e lo stesso letto!) in un cottage nel Maine in cui ogni anno da tempo immemorabile il loro gruppo di amici trascorre una meravigliosa settimana di vacanza per disintossicarsi dal mondo. Solo che quest’anno Harriet e Wyn mentono spudoratamente... A se stessi perché cercano con tutte le proprie forze di negare l’evidenza, e cioè quanto ancora si desiderano l’un l’altro. Agli altri perché non sopportano di spezzare il cuore dei loro amici. Quindi reciteranno la loro parte: Harriet sarà la specializzanda in chirurgia che non litiga mai, e Wyn sarà il ragazzo affascinante che non si lascia scalfire da nulla. È un piano impeccabile: sono stati innamorati per tanti anni, quanto può essere difficile fingere per una settimana... davanti a chi ti conosce meglio?

Den perfekte oppskriften på en romantisk komedie fra BookTok-sensasjonen Emily Henry. Augustus Everett og January Andrews er som natt og dag. Han er en kritikerrost forfatter, hun skriver romantiske bestselgere. Han er en svartsynt realist, hun er en ekte drømmer. Men de har likevel én ting felles: De lider av seriøs skrivesperre. En kveld inngår de et veddemål: Over de neste tre månedene skal de bytte roller. Augustus skal skrive en romance, og January skal skrive en litterær roman. Det låter såre enkelt! Innen sommeren er omme, vil begge ha skrevet en bok. Og ingen av dem vil ha forelsket seg … Overhodet ikke.
