Dos escritores, unas vacaciones y una apuesta. Todo puede suceder durante un verano. January Andrews es escritora de novelas románticas y una soñadora empedernida. August Everett escribe novelas serias y cree que el amor verdadero es sólo un cuento chino. Pero January y Gus tienen mucho más en común de lo que creen: Los dos están arruinados. Los dos están bloqueados. Y los dos necesitan escribir un bestseller antes de que termine el verano. 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.
