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
Review
Review
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
Have you read any of these books? What did you think? What are some of your summer recommendations?
Thank you so much for stopping by, and I'll see you soon with another post!
Happy Reading!
