I’ve thought long and hard about the books I wanted to include in my summer reading list. I only included books that I have read before because I want to be able to recommend good books that won’t be a waste of your time. I love light reads while laying by the pool or on the beach baking in the sun, so if you’re looking for something with more depth, you may be better off reading Crime and Punishment rather than the following list. If you are in the market for a laid back easy “beach book,” this is for you! I don’t mean to imply that these books have no depth because some of them do, but they are easy and quick to read. Let’s get to it, shall we?
