Park Avenue by Renée Ahdieh (2025)
Park Avenue is glitzy and fun on the surface with a serious undercurrent underneath. Up-and-coming lawyer Jia is asked to get involved in a heated dispute among a Korean cosmetics billionaire family. Watching her be whisked around the world as she mediates while hunting down the prefect Birkin is summery fun. But the family dynamic also helps her understand and appreciate her own difficult family relationships. Park Avenue is filled with surprises, just like the summer you crave! Check out my review and spotlight on former YA author Renée Ahdieh.
Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid (2025)
I’M LITERALLY taking you into the solar system for this next sunny read. Fan favorite writer Taylor Jenkins Reisd is writing about women astronauts! This 1980s-set book feels like TJR crossed with Lessons in Chemistry crossed with All The Right Stuff and we are all excited about it! This title is the perfect fit for your adventurous spirit!
Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez (2024)
Abby’s newest book, Say You’ll Remember Me, might be a little downbeat for your sunny vibes, but Just for the Summer her summer 2024 mega-hit is about a woman who thinks she’s having a fling with a guy who’s sort of a curse. Of course, plans have a way of changing… BUT if you think a more tearjerking book could fit your vibe, check out the Books for a Cozy Summer Aesthetic list!
These Summer Storms by Sarah MacLean (2025)
An island setting. A wealthy New England family. A gathering on a private island. Secrets, lies, family drama. This sounds like and adult version of We Were Liars (which is going to be a summer streaming series if you hadn’t heard...) If you love books with this kind of vibe, check out The Inheritance (family gathering on a Scottish island that turns totally unhinged) or A Girl Like Us (American reality star vs the snobby rich British family of her hubs.)
I may add new titles as I work through my summer reading, so check back soon!
