items Summer romance reads that will transport you to their little towns/cities. I would reread these every single year if I could!
This is one of the first summer romance books I read while getting back into reading and I think about it constantly! You can relate to the FMC so easily, and everything about the characters, setting, background, plot, all of it is so cozy and so goo...
This Summer Will Be Different - by Carley Fortune (Paperback)
This book can be read either before or after Every Summer After! It is Charlie Florek's book and we get to see a lot of the story behind him, and the characters from ESA as well. This book made me fall in love with him so quickly! If you read ESA and...
One Golden Summer - by Carley Fortune (Paperback)
This is my favorite summer book I have read, it's so cozy, real, raw, emotional, and definitely gives off “The Summer I Turned Pretty” vibes! They are also making this an adaption on Prime Video, which will be out on June 10, 2026. This book will tra...
Every Summer After - by Carley Fortune (Paperback)
Personally, this is Abby Jimenez's best book, along with Yours Truly. This story felt so emotional and raw, nothing too out of the extreme also. It has some of the best characters, situations, and the plot was so so good throughout. JFTS is a standal...
Just for the Summer - by Abby Jimenez (Paperback)
This book makes you feel as if you're actually in the book, the foods, the setting, family, and allll of the feel-good emotions are in this book. It is a YA romance and granted not a lot of things happen, but it's a book for the summer “vibes” mainly...

People We Meet on Vacation - by Emily Henry (Paperback)
This is my first book by Alex Aster and i was pleasantly surprised. The tropes in this were top notch: billionaire romance, forced proximity, rom com, enemies to lovers! The FMC and MMC are so unique and everything was so well-written and a lot of ti...
Summer in the City - by Alex Aster (Paperback)
This book really opened my eyes!!! The FMC and MMC had their own hardships that they had to overcome, and the timelines and POV's in this were top notch. I wish this one was longer, as the setting is in NY (Brooklyn) and all of the good feelings were...
