I didn’t know what to title and this post is so funny to me considering I have not even read beach read yet but i just saw that Fabien Frankel was offered the role for Gus Everett in Emily Henry’s ‘Beach Read’ and omggg the way i jumped!! More so very undelicately fell off the bed but who cares about semantics right?? I generally do not usually move when it comes to adaptions so even my reaction to this surprised me, but after seeing Fabien Frankel’s performance in crime drama - Task (2025) on HBO - I NEED HIM TO ACCEPT THIS ROLE YESTERDAY!!

This is how roles are picked but it rlly is interesting and sooo freakin cool to watch actors act in various settings and be able to be like “shoot…well maybe” bc someone literally did that and even i was thinking about it while the show was still airing. AND THANK GOD THEY DIDDDD!!! honest to god curious if he got the role offered partly due to his performance in Task cause idk maybe that man ran in to some secret debt he was on the clock to clear cause…no words.

And again, my knowledge of beach read is just maybe some screenshots of some lines on the book on twt, so i’m very curious to what people who have actually read the book think.

Also like i fear there is no other Gus Everett for me. I’m sorry to the OG’. My bed has been made. but do plz tell me who you want // would have wanted instead too cause you know, my third eye does tend to be open sometimes. Also like that show is so recent??? that’s so cool for him to have had such a recent hit of a show and now this cause now i’m talking about why I NEED HIM TO ACCEPT bc of his portrayal as Grasso.

I’ve honesty been thinking about the show since it ended. The messages are absolutely beautiful and i think everyone should watch (if they can) at least once.

It’s a story on forgiveness. And how really nothing is black and white. Will definitely be rewatching soon. But definitely google as it definitely is not for everyone and does deal with dark subject matter with it being a crime drama.

Also if you do end up tuning in for whatever reason, let me know what you think about the show. it can be anything. tell me why unplugged your tv 30 mins in idk. but anyways, thank you for coming to my ted talk.
