I find certain types of books PERFECT for the summer. Summer is the perfect time to relax for the majority of people, and in my opinion there is no better way to relax than out by a pool with a book in hand.

Below, I have listed my “Top 5 Summer Reads”. These are books that, in my opinion, encapsulate the warmth and brightness summer is known for!

Top 5 Summer Reads

People We Meet On Vacation (Emily Henry) represents the dream summer vacation with friends that I am sure we have all wished for at one point or another. Whether it be out of the state or out of the country, Poppy and Alex almost always have the trip of a lifetime!

Remarkably Bright Creatures (Shelby Van Pelt) is the sweetest coming-of-age, mystical fiction story I have ever read. Bringing together mystery, fantasy, and a little romance in to one book made this the perfect beach read for me!

Picking Daisies On Sundays (Liana Cincotti) follows Daisy and Levi, childhood best friends, as they work to fix their strained friendship. A sweet story full of fake-dating and an unfortunate miscommunication, Cincotti’s book was the perfect escape from reality!

Verity (Colleen Hoover) was just the mystery I wanted to solve this summer. The twists, turns, and shocking developments throughout the book kept me completely enamored on my recent road trip and I am confident you will feel the same!

The Summer Of Broken Rules (K.L. Walther) is one of the cutest romances I had read in a while. The plot and the setting made the romance between Meredith and Wit that much better; another excellent beach read if I do say so myself!

Clearly, I tend to gravitate towards romance in the summer…Who could blame me though? I love a good, calm book to read in the warmer months so I can cozy up with mysteries and fantasies in the colder seasons!

That’s all for now, thank you so much for reading 🙂

Throwback to a trip I took last summer! Books AND cats on the beach? My perfect vacation.
