Happy Friday! I am so excited for today’s post. I know I already do a monthly book review but if you don’t read nearly as much as I do, I want to make it easier for you to find a new fun read if you are a bit overwhelmed.
If you are looking for a light read, the right amount of drama to enjoy this Summer, this list is for you. I’ve read and thoroughly enjoy every single one of these books and a few of them I’ve read twice. I’ve reviewed them all before via my book reviews and I added a bonus below that I will fully review next month.
- Summer Hours – Old friends with lots of history and a big secret are reunited on a road trip.
- The Accidental Beauty Queen – a beauty queen gets her nerdy sister to take her place at a pageant. Things quickly get complicated when the sister falls for one of the judges.
- The Kiss Quotient – A girl on the spectrum is looking for love in an unconventional way.
- The Hating Game – Enemies at work but all the animosity is really masking deeper feelings. It’s going to be a movie starring Lucy Hale.
- The Unhoneymooners – She gets stuck on a trip her sister’s husband that she cannot stand and he’s not too fond of her either.
- The Proposal – After an awkward proposal at a baseball game, a girl get rescued by her possible next love interest.
- Meet Cute – Imagine meeting your teenage crush in college and you actually get to become friends and more.
- One Day in December – After an intense missed connection, when she sees him again, he is dating her best friend.
- The Idea of You – A tween mom falls in love with a guy in her daughter’s favorite boy band. This one is so juicy.
- Royal We – I’m not a royal addict and I loved this. American girl is in England for college and of course lots of fun but end up with the next heir to the throne. It is no fairytale.
- Josh & Hazel’s Guide to not Dating – Hazel is a crazy and Josh is perfect but they don’t think they are suited for each other. This will make you laugh.
- Intercepted – Longtime girlfriend of a football star gets dumped but she bounces back pretty well.
Bonus
I wanted to mention a bonus books that I think will be a hit this Summer. It’s The Flatshare, full review coming next month but this book is a delight.
Oh I loved a lot of these books! The Flatshare and the Unhoneymooners were both so good and I also LOVED the Accidental Beauty Queen. The Royal We and the Hating Game were five start reads for me. I’m going to check out Summer Hours!
Well I will be adding all of the ones I haven’t read here to my summer reading list! Totally agree that Royal We and obviously The Hating Game since that was on my list too! Fun that we had some overlap!
Josh and Hazel was the first book I’ve read by dynamic duo Christina Lauren and I absolutely loved it! The Flat-Share is on my TBR already, but always good to see a positive review! I had no idea The Hating Game is going to be a movie, and I always love reading before seeing it, so that will be moving up for sure. I really like your super short and to the point descriptions, very helpful!
Yes, the Royal We is such a fun one! I also want to read the new royal-related one that’s just coming out (I think it might be called Red, White & Royal Blue), hoping it will give me the same feels as this š And I just finished The Unhoneymooners on a long layover – perfect distraction reading for being stuck in an airport for quite a few hours!
i love your list! i’ve read several of these and loved them, the rest are on my list. totally agree about the flatshare, loved it! i have the idea of you from the library and i’m super excited to get to it, i’ve heard nothing but good things.
