Complete sunshine in book form... Fun and swoonworthy, a delicious slow burn love story as well as a love letter to books, Beach Rivals is as bright and engaging as its glorious cover' - Cressida McLaughlin, author of The Staycation

Beach Rivals is the perfect slice of summer escapism! Sizzling chemistry paired with swoony romance, and two characters I completely fell in love with. I read it in one sitting! - Catherine Walsh, author of Holiday Romance

A delight. Ideally would have read it on a beach; still bloody good served on the sofa - Lauren Bravo, author of Preloved

Georgie Tilney's Beach Rivals is such a love letter to bookshops and beach reads. I adored the forced proximity roommate set-up, and was rooting for Jack and Clare to realize the other wasn't nearly as defined by their seeming grump/sunshine roles as they might first appear. The side characters were so lovable and fun, and my kingdom for Simone Adair books to be real. As warm as white sand beneath your toes, as refreshing as a cool breeze - this book utterly transported me! - Alicia Thompson, author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers

'Deliciously funny, wonderfully hopeful, swoony-as-heck and perfect summery escapism. I loved it! For fans of You've Got Mail, for those who've always dreamed of taking the island job, for anyone who has swooned at a handsome man's forearms! I devoured it!' - Lizzie Huxley-Jones, author of Make You Mine This Christmas
