☀️ The Summer Stack: Rally Reads for Every Vibe
Whether you’re sweating it out at the playground, beach-bumming it with a drink in hand, or hiding in the AC while your kids reenact Lord of the Flies, this Summer Stack is here to keep your book bag packed and your brain in bookish bliss.
These are the reads I’m stocking this season—each one carefully picked to match a summer mood, from flirty to freaky to full-on feel-good.
💋 For the Romance Junkies
Every Summer After by Carley Fortune
The one that’ll have you rooting for first love and maybe texting your high school crush. Oops.
The Friendship Fling by Georgia Stone
A globe-trotting vibe with sweet banter and just enough tension to keep it juicy.
Left of Forever by Tarah DeWitt
Second-chance magic. Feels like cotton candy and closure.
Promise Me Sunshine by Cara Bastone
Because everyone needs a little sunshine and a lot of heart in their romance.
😎 For the Vacation Dreamers
The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren
Marriage of convenience, tropical drama, and signature CLo banter.
One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune
Another Fortune gem—sun-soaked and emotionally rich.
Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Surf, secrets, and celebrity chaos in classic TJR fashion.
😈 For the Drama Lovers
Till Summer Do Us Part by Meghan Quinn
Rom-com with chaos and spice. Like summer love... if summer love was mildly unhinged.
Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood
Messy, smart, and hilariously self-aware. You’ve been warned.
Meet Me at the Starlight by Rachel Hauck
Retro vibes + romance + theater drama = yes, please.
👻 For the Vibe Shifters
The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James
Because not every summer read has to be sunny. Creepy, chilling, and unputdownable.
The High Dive by Chelsea Fagan
One woman, one boat, one chance to start over. Feels like emotional waves crashing in slow motion.
Sunday Morning by Jewel Ann
A slower, introspective Sunday read with depth and healing.
Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle
Queer horror with bite—dark, sharp, and unexpectedly moving. Perfect for those who like their summer reads with a side of sinister.
🌸 For the Cozy Crew
Heathen & Honeysuckle + Wicked & Wildflower by Nicole Dykes
Low-drama, high-heart with that small-town charm that feels like a porch swing and lemonade.
