My absolute FAVORITE books to read poolside: summertime romance, dramas in a beachside town, even a few thrillers to keep you on your toes (in the sand).Â
If you haven't read any on this list - pick one up, grab a towel & a drink with a little umbrella and settle inâŚ
Â
I've read this twice & I loved it both timesâŚa fall from grace, a forgotten friendship and a summer romance - do not skip this one

Â
This one is SO juicy - four couples with a lifetime of secrets all come to terms with their tangled pasts after a tragic accident. Set in Nantucket (like all of Hilderbrand's novels), this one is definitely one of my favorites.
The Castaways: A Novel
Â
World of Pies is like The Sandlot for girls - a coming of age story in a 1960s Texas townâŚvery cute, so easy to read. Loved it
World of Pies: A Novel
Â
A must read for all women, everywhere. I absolutely love Nora's strong voice, her wit, and crushing relatability. You'll laugh, you'll reminisce, you'll want to share with all your girlfriendsâŚ
I Feel Bad About My Neck: Thoughts on Women
Â
An absolute page turner from the same author as The Woman in Cabin 12 - I liked this book sooo much better and can't believe the film version got stuck in limbo. A really fun thriller!
In a Dark, Dark Wood | Ruth Ware
Â
Warning: this book is extremely graphicâŚthe TV show doesn't even come close. I'm a huge Stephen King fan and I couldn't put this one down despite the horror - you've been warned.
Under the Dome| Stephen King
Â
Calling all girls who love adventure, who love to travel and see the world fearlessly: you will LOVE this book.

Â
The queen of summer reads with another bangerâŚhonestly, everything from Elin Hilderbrand is incredible.
The Rumor | Elin Hilderbrand

Ok a break from the beach reads- this is a manual to teach you how to become your most powerful self. Important note: this does NOT mean by using manipulation! However, this book will teach you what to be wary of.
48 Laws of Power
Â
A true story of a man and his wife who move into a 200 year old stone house in Luberon, France. Very âUnder the Tuscan Sunâ

Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously
Â
Of course, I had to include the OG
