I can’t believe the summer is over. I was really focused on getting a lot of reading this summer so I wanted to share my favorite summer reads. The best books of the summer were hard to pin down so I am going to limit myself to picking just 6 but if you check out all the reads from the entire summer, you will understand how hard it was for me to pick.
My Favorite Summer Reads:
One True Loves – It must have been the summer of love for me because I fell for this love story. Hard. Mushy, sad, and all of the things. Your teenage crush heart will love you for it.
The Girls – The perfect hot summer read. It’s dangerous, it’s secretive and a total guilty pressure.
Sweetbitter – The food and wine descriptions alone had me at “I’ll have the Pinot.”
Siracusa – Affairs, Italy, a dead body and once again, really good food.
Eligible – A modern retelling of Pride & Prejudice…it was everything I hoped it would be. Nice and fluffy but still hit all the good parts.
The Assistants – I love meeting characters that make me feel like a slightly better person. Or even better, when you feel good about fighting for the “underdogs” of the world and they end up on top.
I feel like I have to put this out there: There are far, far better books to be had out there this summer. Honestly, I know this is just a tiny little tip of the iceberg of the amazing work that I could have gotten my hands on these past couple of months but there is just never enough time.
Now, bring on the salted caramel and pumpkin scents, the leggings with over sized sweatshirts, the falling leaves and the dewy mornings of autumn!
