The Ultimate Summer Book List: 20 Beach Reads You’ll Love!
There is nothing that I love more than a good book, warm sunshine, sand, and maybe some waves. Whether it’s a romantic beach read or something that makes me look forward to the fall (and yes, Halloween Season starts July 2), there is nothing more relaxing than getting lost in a good story. If you are looking for your next read, you are in luck, because I am sharing my summer TBR, so you have something for every mood!

Your Summer TBR Starts Here!
1-Happy Place
Who doesn’t love a second-chance romance, especially when it’s written by an icon like Emily Henry?
2-Just for Summer
This cover gives all the beach vibes, but it’s really a heart-wrenching story about a fake relationship & found family.
3-Til Summer Do Us Part
Summer just lends itself to a good fake dating office romance that’s just. a little unserious.
4-Every Summer After
I am a sucker for second chances, coming-of-age stories, and a dash of drama.
5-One Golden Summer
This book is about reclaiming the innocence of your youth and getting a second chance at love, and I am HERE for it.
6-Burning Daylight
Wait…an enemies-to-lovers Romeo & Juliet retelling that’s also a romance? Count me in!
7-The Last Letter
This classic is trending again, and it’s next up on my TBR!
8-Rules for Summer
Small town romance with a little intervention from fate? I’m down!
9-We Shipt It
This book is a YA reread for me, and it’s devastatingly underrated. I loved it so much–and it also made me cry. Warning–it’s not a romance. HEA is not guaranteed.
10-The Summer of Broken Rules
A family tragedy turns into finding love again. I have a feeling this is going to make me cry.
11-Beach Read
The title is a little on the nose, but it’s about a romance writer who falls in love.
12-Practical Magic
No, but hear me out–summer really is pre-Halloween. You might not be in the mood for it right now, but give it a few weeks!
13-Remarkably Bright Creatures
This book sounds absolutely exquisite, plus, like all Millennials, I went through a marine biologist phase.
14-This Summer Will Be Different
A steamy best friend’s brother romance is just dramatic enough to hit the spot.
15-Dire Bound
In a sea of contemporary fiction, I just feel like you need a good fantasy, and this one is new to me!
16-Bad Boy Era
I’m always in my fictional “bad boy” era so this is a must!
17-The Deal
I don’t know–summer just seems like the perfect time to catch up on all the book-to-streaming service hits, and this list wouldn’t be complete without a hockey romance.
18-Sunrise on the Reaping
Blame Rachel Ramras, but I’m on such a Hunger Games kick right now that it’s not even funny. I’m definitely doing a reread before November.
19-Dead Until Dark
It’s not ALWAYS summer in Louisiana, but it kind of is. This series always makes me think of humid nights and sultry days in the best possible way.
20-Curses, Keys, & Secret Societies
This is another book that looks like summer, but it gives fall. You’ll thank me in August.
