I love summer. I like when it’s warm and I can go to the beach chill in the water and read a book. Or when it’s hot, hang out by the aircon and just read. What makes reading in summer even better is picking up a book that reflects the mood.

So today I thought I would share some of my favourite summer reads. There are some that fit that summer theme – and others that are a little out of the book.

 

Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson: One of the first Morgan Matson books that I read that made me want to read more. Second Chance Summer will pull at your heartstrings, but will also make you smile, laugh and just fall in love. It’s beautiful but heartbreaking summer read. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Beats Perfect by Rebecca Denton: I read this on a cruise I went on last year and it just a perfect summer read. It was fun, addicting and put a smile on my face. It explores the notions of finding yourself, loving what you do and finding those who will stand by you. It’s about family, friendship and those you love

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally: Basically, the whole Hundred Oaks series are perfect summer reads. They are fun contemporary reads that both emotional, but also lots of fun.  They are great for a nice summer binge read.And if you love sports these are so much fun. 

 

 

 

 

 

Game On by Michelle Smith: Another fun sports romance that takes you on a ride. It’s full of everything; family, friends to lovers and small town. This one is great to read through in one sitting. Maybe one by the beach in summer. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson:  I loved The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson. It is a tale of friendship, family, love and unexpected adventures that all feels real. The Unexpected Everything is for every author, book lover and reader alike. It’s a beautiful story of friendship, heartbreak and family. Morgan Matson brings together a beautiful contemporary novel that makes you smile, laugh and cry.

 

 

 

 

 

The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West: I just love Kasie West. I love her writing, her plots, her characters. And of course her romances. A lot of people have a love-hate relationship with this one, but I love it. It’s complicated and messy, but that’s how it works. 

 

 

 

 

 

On the Fence by Kasie West: This has to my favourite Kasie West by far. It could also be my favourite contemporary book of all time. It’s beautiful, emotional and just plays with my heart. It’s a boy next door/brothers friend romance and it’s just so damn good. A simply perfect summer read.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick: One of the first contemporary books that I read and adored. It’s about family, first love and finding yourself. A boy next door romance, that explores the different dynamics of families. It’s heartbreaking, beautiful and just right for a nice day.
