Emily Henry Winks About Ayo Edebiri and Paul Mescal’s Rumored ‘Beach Read’ Casting: ‘Two of My Favorite Irish Actors’
Emily Henry fans had a field day last week when the author shared a St. Patrick's day selfie of Ayo Edebiri and Paul Mescal.
The story follows January Andrews, a successful romance novel writer who is struggling after the death of her father and the discovery that he was having an affair, who ends up moving in to the beach house next door to Augustus Everett, her former rival in college and now an acclaimed literary fiction author. About potential screen adaptations of her 2023 novel “Happy Place” or “Funny Story,” which releases on April 23, Henry only shared that she hopes to have details “really soon” and that she’s open to exploring television instead of film: “I’m doing my Lucille Bluth wink,” she jokes. While Henry says she suspects that all three of her current film adaptations will be “very different” from each other, she does hope tp create a signature aesthetic across the board — much like the cohesive cover design across all five of her books.
