I love a good beach read. There is just something so fun and easy about them and I always feel transported which is what we all want in a good read! I always root for the main character and feel overcome with emotion when things finally work out for them with their love interest!

Here are four reads that I highly recommend for your end of Summer vacation!

The Newcomer by Mary Kay Andrews

I love the way Mary Kay Andrews can tell a love story! This is a new release for her and it did not disappoint. She always writes a strong female leading character and her settings take place down South in quaint beach towns or charming Southern cities! This book comes with a little bit of suspense thrown in too which shakes things up a bit!

Beach Read by Emily Henry

Emily Henry is a new-to-me author but I quickly fell in love with her style of writing. It is witty and hilarious but also captures true emotion in the small moments that make up a good love story. Emily writes wonderfully complex female lead characters who I personally find so relatable that I feel like they could be a best friend! I loved this book!

People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry

I liked Beach Read so much, I immediately downloaded this book on Audible. A friends to lovers story is always so much fun to read because the feelings can be so all over the place and the author describes them so perfectly you can’t help but root for the two main characters to end up together already!

Paris is Always a Good Idea by Jenn McKinlay

This is kind of a cheat because I read this back in April and technically it doesn’t take place during the summer but I think this is a great candidate for a vacation read! Books about people who go traveling in search of themselves always appeal to me (I have read Eat, Pray, Love at least 3 times). This book takes the main character to Ireland, France, and Italy and I cannot even describe how much wanderlust I had once I finished this book!
