If I think about the summer or the beach, right now what I’m thinking is I want light, fluid, fluffy, relatable, and/or romantic contemporary reads. As such, I will compile some titles for you here. I will cover both angles of the topic – recommend books I’ve read to you guys to put in your beach bag, and list some titles I hope to read if I get a beach day myself. Enjoy!Recommended Beach Reads for You

I highly recommend What I Thought Was True, Attachments, and All Lined Up – they are perfect summer reads! I haven’t read Cora Carmack’s other books yet, but football takes the cake for me. It’s very un-angsty, too, which I loved.
Since You’ve Been Gone, The Art of Lainey, and On the Fence are at the top of my list for summer reads. I definitely agree about Ask Again Later and The Distance Between Us. 🙂
Great picks!
I’m also hoping to read Attachments and Since You’ve Been Gone this summer – they’ve been calling my name for awhile now!! Love your picks!
I love it that you did a dual list (damn why I din’t think of that). 🙂
I used to also read light, fluffy and romantic books on the beach, but now I usually read sequels to my fav series.
I read Lola and the Boy Next Door & Attachments and they are both quirky and lovely contemporaries. I think you will like them.
Meant to Be, The Distance Between Us, Losing It, Faking It, The Duff, Art of Lainey…I loved all of those!! I can’t wait to read On the Fence, I’ve heard such great things.
To All the Boys…such a cute book, I absolutely loved it. Since You’ve Been Gone was excellent too. Lola and the Boy Next Door…I’ll read anything Stephanie Perkins writes, she’s amazing. Have fun reading!
I’ve heard so many good things about The DUFF and its been on my TBR forever! I’m beginning to think I need to get around to reading it.
I didn’t do TTT this week. I couldn’t really think of ten books that I’d recommend as beach reads.
