Without further ado, here are 10 books that I think are perfect for the summer!
Now, I don't know about you but when I think summer reads I immediately think: contemporary. Summer romance, summer jobs, getting ready for college, everything! BUT I do know that some of you don't like contemporary, so I'll make sure that there are some books outside of that genre.
Here are 7 contemporary reads!
- best friends to lovers to exes to lovers romance!
- camping
- drama
- bears
- amazing look into parent/child relationships
6) Smut by Karine Halle
Review
Review
This is another adult romance. Like Roomies, it has a really great energy to it. While the title isn't the best - the synopsis even has a not to ensure readers that Smut by Karina Halle, is in fact not smut - it is a worthy read. Blake and Amanda are forced to write together for a final project, and they end up writing smut under a pen name. Fun antics ensue from there!
5) Royally Lost by Angie Stanton
I read this a couple summers ago, and it's actually my go-to! I've actually reread it a couple times, simply because it's a quintessential read. It's not the best book I've ever read, but it's so fun! During the summer, Becca goes on a European road trip with her family and has a whirlwind romance with a mysterious boy who is *gasp!* a prince!
4) The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson

I knew I wanted to add a Morgan Matson book on this list, but I didn't know which one to add. Since You've Been Gone, Save the Date, Amy & Roger's Epic Detour?? I eventually decided on The Unexpected Everything. There's dogs, friendships drama, and an adorable love interest.
Now, here come the non-contemporary reads!
3) Nyxia by Scott Reintgen
2) Deep Blue by Jennifer Donnelly
1) Hunger by Roxane Gay

Happy Reading!

DeleteGreat summer picks, Genni! I actually just ordered a physical copy of Roomies this morning and can’t wait to receive it and start reading. And Starry Eyes is anaother one that will definitely be happening sooner rather than later.
