January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThey're polar opposites. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUntil, 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.
