My May 2026 R.E.P.O.R.T.

Some of you might have been around when I joined TikTok and wrote up a R.E.P.O.R.T. since it was a TikTok trend (which I realize as I include these links that they were done on two different websites, so maybe this R.E.P.O.R.T. will be more exciting content for you). Well, I had written this R.E.P.O.R.T. up originally to post on Substack, but since I haven’t really been all that active on that platform, I thought I would go ahead and share it here.

My Thoughts on Beach Read by Emily Henry

Before this book, I had fallen into a rabbit hole of nonfiction books and autobiographies. It’s not that I wasn’t happy there, because it was a path I had chosen to go down because that is what I write. I think that there is a different feeling I get when I read something meant to be inspirational, or something coming from someone who is successful and has overcome adversity. I was missing the feeling of reading happy endings. Maybe it comes from the little kid in me who loved fairy tales, but I love a happily ever after story. I didn’t realize that what I was longing for is the feeling of reading a romantic comedy, until I picked up this book. The driving force behind me reading Beach Read by Emily Henry came from the fact that my former Her Campus Editor Nicole posted it on her Bookstagram. She said it was one of her favorite books of all time, ever. Which sounded like a glowing review, so I picked it up, and I absolutely love it. So for today’s blog post, I thought I would go through the discussion questions in the back of the book. Keep reading to learn my thoughts and go through my experience of reading Beach Read by Emily Henry.
