The Beach Read movie isn’t the only Emily Henry movie in the works. The People We Meet on Vacation movie and the Book Lovers movie are also in development.

If they do well (which let’s be honest, they are going to be AMAZING!) I bet we will see more of Emily Henry’s books adapted into feature films.
