Emily Henry´s beloved New York Times bestselling novel now in this stunning hardcover collector´s edition featuring: A shimmering revamped cover Sunset sky art endpapers and sprayed edges Gold foil stamped case, and... A new introduction from the author and a bonus January and Gus epilogue, "The Layover" 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. Then 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. "A tender, thoughtful, and very funny book…it´s not only convincing but infectious."-The New York Times Book Review
