“Beach Read” or “Book Lovers”? The debate rages on.
Emily Henry, then the author of solidly successful but quietly received YA fiction, had run out of things to say about teenagers when she started her first book for adults: “Beach Read,” a romance novel that doubled as a poptimist manifesto. This defense of feel-good commercial fiction landed right when audiences were craving some lightness, in the spring of 2020. It — and every Henry book since then — was a hit.
Even as the pandemic and the rise of BookTok supercharged the romance genre, Henry stands out for her mainstream, even upmarket, appeal. Her books have become the go-to rec for your friend who’s looking for something fun, but not dumb — picture a Nora Ephron of middle America.
Each of Henry’s novels has shot straight to the top of the bestseller list. But even as her work is extremely likable, readers fiercely disagree about which book is best.After much internal debate, here is the overall ranking from the staff of Book World :Henry’s 2021 novel has a fun structure: The romance develops over 10 trips taken by two best friends, Alex and Poppy, who have been traveling together since college.
