love some good summer/beach reads to dive into the next couple of months. i’m okay with lighthearted themes but quality writing and story-telling are what’s really important to me. i’m flexible with genre, but no romance please!!
some books i liked that fit this:
– greengage summer by rumer godden
– hot milk by deborah levy
– outline by rachel cusk
– my brilliant friend by elena ferrante
– camp damascus by chuck tingle
– my best friend’s exorcism by grady hendrix
– call me by your name by andre aciman
– bell jar by sylvia plath
– song of achilles by madeline miller
– daisy jones and the 6 by taylor jenkins reid
– happy hour by marlowe granados
– less by andrew sean greer
– virgin suicides by jeffery eugenides
– the idiot by elif batuman
