Henry is a bestselling author whose earlier novels “Book Lovers,” “Beach Read” and “People We Meet on Vacation” are all being adapted into movies.

If you’re looking for something light, fun and full of ridiculous ’80s fashion, I can’t recommend the new Netflix documentary about the pop group Wham! enough — it’s basically the documentary equivalent of a beach read.

So, what is a beach read, exactly?

This Canadian comedy is as if you took an Elin Hilderbrand beach read and mixed in a tiny bit of “Succession.”
