My Review:

While billionaire romances are not my usual trope, books like Beachy Keen make me want to read more!

While there is so much to like about Beachy Keen, I have to say it was SO refreshing that Noah was the one struggling with anxiety, seeing a therapist, and having to take a break. So often the male character is as perfect as can be for a work of fiction and the female has all the struggles. Spoiler alert, neither Noah nor Cat was perfect.

Read for:

🏖 who falls first

🏖 flawed characters

🏖 enemies to more (sort of)

🏖 billionaire romance (realistically done (I think, I don't personally know a billionaire 😂))

🏖 witty banter

🏖 strong family ties

🏖 all the summer vibes

🏖 small island vibes

🏖 Cat's nicknames for Noah

Overall, it is a great summer, beachy, escapism, LOL, fun read.

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodread):

He has it all, except the one thing money can't buy: her heart.

When Cat Keene finds a medical bill with the horrendous words final notice stamped across the front, she learns two things: first, her uncle/the man who raised her is keeping things from her for the first time in her life. Second, they need money—and fast—or they’ll lose the only thing she has left of her parents: the bed & breakfast she runs with him.

Noah Belacourt is a billionaire with a newly acquired anxiety diagnosis and a one-way ticket to Sunset Harbor for the summer, courtesy of his company's board of directors. Being on the island he grew up on for a forced sabbatical has a major perk when he runs into the girl he's harbored a crush on since they were teens. She's still the same old Cat, except now she's in some major financial trouble. Noah wants to help her, but Cat is stubborn. She holds onto past biases about his family and takes some convincing.

When Cat agrees to work as Noah’s personal assistant for the summer, she doesn’t realize she’s signing up for a lot more than debt relief. Some of her preconceived notions about the Belacourt family begin to feel wrong. Noah proves that not all first impressions are reliable, forcing Cat to face the past—and to hope that things will end up just peachy keen after all.

Because the alternative is losing everything that matters to her, and she is not about to let that happen.
