9 litulla-approved Summer reads 🧐🌺 Not all of these are necessarily Summery, but I’ve read them all in the Summer so 🤷🏼‍♀️ they feel like Summer reads to me! Read LUSTER if you enjoy sharp, beautifully written books with complex (and often self-destructive) MCs. Read SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE if you’re in the mood for non-cheesy second-chance romance with a dual timeline. Read LITTLE WEIRDS if you want to go out of your comfort zone and read something unique. Love it or hate it, you can’t really compare this essay collection to any other book! Read THE BREAD THE DEVIL KNEAD if you’re ready for an emotional page-turner with some heavyyy themes, trauma unpacking and a strong protagonist you can’t help but root for. Read NEXT YEAR IN HAVANA if you want immersive historical fiction that will make you want to travel (you’ll probably cry?). Read YERBA BUENA if you’re looking for an artsy, atmospheric coming-of-age story that will make you feel hopeful. Read YOU MADE A FOOL OF DEATH WITH YOUR BEAUTY if you’re looking for a lush forbidden romance, tropical island vibes and looots of chaos. Read VIOLETA if you want a strong, independent MC making her way in the world during a time when women couldn't really do that. Read THE FORCE OF SUCH BEAUTY if you're looking for books with unreliable narrators and women on the verge. This one, in particular, is a princess. Wanna exchange recs?

ARC Book Review: Summer After Summer by Lauren Bailey - Release Date 5/7 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was a beautiful story about two people who just can’t get their timing right. “Summer After Summer” they give it another chance, with years in between. I love the way the timeline is set out. Lauren takes us from the present to the past and back again. I feel like everything plays on your emotions so much more that way.

When her family home in the Hamptons sells, she decides to head home to help get it ready for the new owner. It’s the summer, she won’t be teaching, and her marriage is in shambles anyway so why not. But he’s there. Again. And there might also be a snake or two in the grass… Overall this was a light-hearted and sweet love story that gave me “The Summer I Turned Pretty” and “Every Summer After” vibes 🥰 #SummerAfterSummer #LaurenBailey #summerbooks #ARCReview #bookreview #bookrecommendation #bookstagram

Luckiest person ever to get to read @kayla.martin.author debut novel A Thousand Sunsets ahead of its publishing date 21 May! Even though we’re fully into Autumn now I’m still not ready to let summer go so this book came at the perfect time! This is about Zach and Sidney who meet at a campsite Sidney’s family visits every year where Zach works. An instant connection leads to an agreement to a summer romance but does anything ever work out as planned? Read if you love: - Holiday romance - Meddling family members - Bi MCs - Dual POV - Cinnamon roll MMC - Shy bookworm FMC - Right place wrong time - He falls first I adored this and can’t wait for the rest of the books Kayla will make for the Murphy family and I think it’s amazing that Kayla has based this on her real family vacations! #arcreader #summerromance #summerbooks #romancebooks #debut #bookworm #booklife #booklove #bookstagram #booksof2024 #bookcommunity #booksbooksbooks #athousandsunsets

A Wedding in Lake Como will transport you to Italy in this women's fiction by Jennifer Probst. A destination wedding in Italy’s Lake Como brings three best friends back together to face the secrets of the past. As Ava, Chelsea and Madison return to Italy’s gorgeous coast, the three women revisit their life-changing first trip to Lake Como during college and revisit what tore term apart five years ago. While there is romance, I feel like this is more of a women's fiction since this book is centered around friendship and forgiveness. I loved the Lake Como setting and it reminded me of my trip to the Italian Lakes last summer. A Wedding in Lake Como comes out May 14th. Thanks to @tlcbooktours, @berkleypub and the author for my copy.

funny story💜🍋🌷📖 I’m so excited that there’s a new emily henry book!🥹 I heard Miles gives “nick miller” vibes so I know I’m gonna love this. If you’ve read it already let me know your thoughts🫶🏼 Happy Place has also been on my tbr for the longest so I might read these two around the same time. Not back to back because I know emhen will have me sobbing. So many new releases are coming out so my anticipated read pile is stacked!! It’s a little overwhelming but I want to take my time with it because I’m trying to lower my physical tbr first, which has 30+ books…I’m a mood reader so this will definitely be a challenge. Anyways, I hope you pookies are having a beautiful day & enjoying your current read🫶🏼🩷 - - - - 💭what anticipated read are you looking forward to?

🏕UNTIL NEXT SUMMER- Ali Brady - Thank you @alibradybooks and @berkleypub for the ARC, and @marensreads for including me in the #greenteam traveling ARC color wars! - This book gave all the nostalgic summer camp vibes. Set at Camp Chickawah the summer before they have to close down, Jessie decides to host an adult summer camp to try to boost profits. Her ex-camp best friend ends up coming to help, and of course a little bit of romance ensues, as well. I loved the focus on female friendship and seeing Jessie and Hilary work through their past issues and build a stronger friendship. Both of the love interests were also unique but swoon-worthy. If you’re looking for something summery and nostalgic that will leave you with a smile on your face I definitely recommend this one! - QOTD: Did you go to summer camp as a kid? What was your favorite camp activity? I loved the zipline!

⋆。🌊𖦹 °.🐚⋆❀˖° A tribute to Malibu Rising; the book that got me out of my 3 month reading slump!! (Swipe to see some aesthetics of the book plus Taylor songs for mick and June) ☼.⋆。𖦹 °˖ I owe EVERYTHING to this book. Because I was in a 3 month slump where I didn’t wanna read, consume book content and had no interest in books. And then I picked this up and the love reignited. Malibu Rising is one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read - it follows the life of the Riva family; Mick and June and their kids Nina, Jay, Hud and Kit. The story is so interesting since it takes place in one singular day, on the day of the annual Riva end of summer party. But, within the first part of the book, we get flashbacks to the 60s where we see the love story between Mick and June unravel. 🌊🪩🐚🌅🏄🏼‍♂️🌤️ The characters were so challenged, fascinating and loveable. June had my whole heart, and I was breaking with her. She deserved so much more than what she was given:( and then the kids, Nina was so strong, and she took everything in her to make her family whole. Even if it broke her in the process. Also, Mick Riva was quite literally everywhere except with his kids???? he truly was scum of the earth 🤍 ☼.⋆。𖦹 °˖ If you haven’t read this one yet, I highly, HIGHLY recommend it. The writing is so magical and keeps you engaged the whole time, and you’ll end up loving these characters so much. It truly is such an amazing book, and one that will forever be a favourite of mine. Btw, Taylor wrote TTPD about Mick and June, I will not be taking criticism on that bc just LOOK AT THOSE LYRICS????

Q. Do you have any fun summer plans yet? I had my winter coat on this morning, so even though these wee flowers are coming up, it’s hard to think about summer. Abby Jimenez’s Just for the Summer definitely got me craving some cottage time. My favourite part of this book was the friendship between travel nurses Emma (our heroine) and Maddy. I’d love to read a book about their adventures together. The romance is fun, with a dorky and sweet hero. This novel isn’t as light and fun as the cover implies though — it digs into Emma’s childhood trauma from a neglectful mother, and Justin’s struggles raising his younger siblings. I like romcoms that include a mix of laughter and pathos, so this worked for me. I wish Emma had been a more defined character (I’d love to know more about her job or hobbies), but overall I enjoyed this one. ⭐⭐⭐1/2

4/26/2024, 1:57:20 AM

Honestly, this book was a rollercoaster. I convinced myself I knew the plot twists so much that I lost interest halfway through and then had the shock of learning I was wrong (about 3 times...) 🙈 This is a quick and easy read. It follows a woman called Gabrielle, the only survivor of a serial killer called The Tube Killer. Struggling with PTSD, she flees London and moves to a remote part of Cornwall to run a bookshop. After she witnesses a murder, she questions her own sanity and tries to piece her life back together. I would have rated this higher, but the writing itself had some questionable moments for me. The POV changed continuously throughout conversations, which I find difficult to follow personally. The epilogue was also very unnecessary and cringeworthy. Overall, a fun book that keeps you guessing to the end. Had the book been a little longer, we might have gotten more character depth, but a solid recommendation for a light murder mystery.

Happy Birthday Owl Crate Jr! You are looking at my summer camp curriculum and birthday present gifting magic. When Craig had their birthday deals this summer, I may have gone to bed overboard, but it’s books and if it’s gonna make my kids excited and it’s books it’s a win for me. So I got two of the books I knew my kids would fight over and one offs that I knew each of them would like and then a couple extras for birthday presents. It’s not as crazy as it looks. What are your summer plans? Camp Mom (mom’s in charge) starts in a month! #owlcrate #summerbooks #bookbox #childrensbooks

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 stars!! Abby Jimenez does it again! Just for the Summer is the perfect beach read. All of the characters are so lovable you can’t help but become so invested in their lives! Abby does an amazing job of doing her research which is one of the reasons why it’s so easy to become immersed in her stories. Upon first glance, I wondered how a rom-com could possibly be 400 pages long. However, this book touches on way more than just Emma and Justin falling in love. That being said, definitely check trigger warnings before reading this novel as it deals with familial issues, mental health disorders, etc. Despite the heavy topics, this book was fun and lighthearted. Justin is easily one of the best book boyfriends and he is the definition of “if he wanted to he would.” I 100% agree with all of the hype surrounding this book! diana☀️👩‍⚕️🐶🏝️🛥️💐🌹🚽🤴 . . . . . . #bookstagram #justforthesummer #abbyjimenez #beachread #summerbooks #5starread #bookworm #bookreview #bookrecommendations

☀️Best Romance Read of 2024☀️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♾️ Justin and Emma are both cursed - every person they date goes on to find their soulmate after they break up. The two meet on Reddit and decide to date each other to break the curse. 💻 This was one of the BEST books I’ve ever read. It was alternately hilarious 🦝 and heartbreaking. 💔 My soul hurt for Emma and everything she had experienced. And Justin is 😍… Jimenez has such a knack for writing the most lovable MMCs. While this can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading Part of Your World and Yours Truly first. Excited to discuss this one with @thebookbestiesbookclub! QOTD: Do you have any fun plans for the summer?

Thinking of picking up either Funny Story or Just for the Summer next since I’ve been seeing them everywhere 🫶🏻 What are you currently reading at the moment? . . #books #currentlyreading #bookstagram #booklover #romancebooks #fantasybooks #bookishbabe #bookcommunity #bookworms #readmore #reading #booktok #booktokbooks #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #goodreads #kindle #kindlestickers #summerbooks #summer #wildlove #elsiesilver #summerfridays

I’m a big CL fan, but this book missed the mark for me! Sharing an honest (yet, respectful) review 🫶 GENRE: Rom-Com MY RATING: 🌟🌟🌟 (3/5) #gifted @gallerybooks — luv u! READ IF YOU LIKE: ▫️Dual POV ▫️Tropical island setting 🏝️ ▫️Romance tropes: marriage of convenience, one bed, forced proximity, opposites attract ▫️Witty banter ▫️Billionaire families 💵 THOUGHTS // RATING EXPLAINED: Anna & Liam’s love story made me giggle! 🤭 Anna was an extra quirky & unique FMC- loved her. But danggg, was this book a slow burn. I think I am in the minority with my rating! 😯 I have seen some great reviews, but this one wasn’t my fav for a couple of reasons. It was lot of “rich people acting like rich people” aka Liam’s family was the worst lol. At one point, it felt like that’s all the book was about. 🙃 The chemistry between Anna & Liam sparked in the beginning, but didn’t develop much as the story went on? There was a ton of business-y dialogue and family events. 🥱 While this book has the BEST cover, the private island setting felt like a missed opportunity— very little island/summer activities. 🌺 The epilogue was also weirdly drawn out & long? It wasn’t a bad book by any means! It just wasn’t what I was hoping for. I’ve rated the two latest Christina Lauren books 3 stars. My reading taste *might* be changing 🥺 Am I still planning on reading Tangled Up In You by them soon? Yes, yes I am 😌 DETAILS: ▫️Publishes: 5/14/24 ▫️Pages: 352 ▫️Format: Physical

☀️ Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez ☀️ I adored Part of Your World and Yours Truly, so I knew I’d love Just for the Summer too. Spoiler Alert…I totally did!! First of all, the cover is seriously STUNNING. Justin and Emma were both so lovable, and I loved the interconnectedness and Easter eggs from the other books. Abby Jimenez’s books are amazing at combining heavier topics with humor and love, which is something I really like. This was a perfect summer read, and I totally encourage everyone to check it out!

Book 34 in 2024! The Good, the Bad, and the Aunties By Jesse Q. Sutanto ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5 rounded up) The Blurb: After their European honeymoon, Meddy Chan and her husband Nathan have landed in Jakarta to spend Chinese New Year with her entire extended family. When a former beau of Second Aunt’s shows up at the Chan residence bearing extravagant gifts—he’s determined to rekindle his romance with Second Aunt and the gifts are his way of announcing his courtship.   This grand gesture goes awry when it’s discovered that not all the gifts were meant for Second Aunt and the Chans—one particular gift was intended for a business rival to cement their alliance and included by accident. Of course the Aunties agree that it’s only right to return the gift—after all, anyone would forgive an honest mistake, right? What should have been a simple retrieval turns disastrous and suddenly Meddy and the Aunties are helpless pawns in a decades-long war between Jakarta’s most powerful business factions. The fighting turns personal, however, when Nathan and the Aunties are endangered and it’s up to Meddy to come up with a plan to save them all.  Determined to rescue her loved ones, Meddy embarks on an impossible mission—but with the Aunties by her side, nothing is truly impossible… My Opinion: Of the Aunties books, this one was actually my favorite! I almost did not pick this one up because I did not care for the second one, but I am glad I did. I really enjoyed learning much more about Meddy’s culture, and thought the Aunts were much more tolerable in this one. I love that the aunts are ride-or-die for another even though they bicker endlessly. Like the other books, I found the plot to be completely outlandish and over the top, but in this book it somehow worked. I definitely recommend this for a light springy read! #bookstagram #bookreview #summerbooks #reading #bookreviewer #springtime #instaread #bookworm #newbooks #mysterybooks #bookworm #bookishlife #booksofinsta #contemporaryfiction #greatreads #readingislife #whattoread #summerreading #greatbooks #bookstoread #tbr #bookstagrammer #booksandrec #tbrpile

💥Book review💥 "Το Μένος" ✒Alex Michaelides 📚@dioptrabooks Σελ.358 🔹️Ανάμεικτα θα έλεγα τα συναισθήματα γι αυτό το βιβλίο, ούτε κρύο ούτε ζέστη. Δεν ήξερα την υπόθεση αλλά έχοντας διαβάσει την σιωπηλή ασθενή το πήρα με κλειστά μάτια. 🔹️Σε ένα μικρό ιδιωτικό νησί απέναντι από τη Μύκονο η σταρ του κινηματογράφου Λάνα Φάραρ καλεί την παρέα της να περάσουν εκεί το Πάσχα. Οι 7 ας πούμε φίλοι καταλήγουν 6, ένας είναι νεκρός, ο δράστης είναι ανάμεσα τους. Λόγω του μένους(πολύ δυνατός αέρας) παγιδεύονται στο νησί. Εκεί ξεκινάει το δυνατό μέρος της ιστορίας, από τη μέση και μετά γιατί στην αρχή ήταν πιο γενικές πληροφορίες χτίζοντας το προφίλ των πρωταγωνιστών. 🔹️Σε γενικές γραμμές με ξένισε κάπως η γραφή ώντας τριτοπρόσωπη αλλά με τον αφηγητή να συμμετέχει, βέβαια δεν μπορώ να μην αναγνωρίσω το ποσό δύσκολος και έξυπνος είναι αυτός ο ιδιαίτερος τρόπος γραφής. Σε πολλά σημεία μιλούσε απευθείας στον αναγνώστη. 🔹️Δεν συμπάθησα ιδιαίτερα κάποιο χαρακτήρα ούτε μου δημιούργησε έντονα συναισθήματα όπως σε άλλα θρίλερ. Είχε ανατροπές αλλά όχι αυτές που θα γουρλώσεις τα μάτια και θα πεις ΤΙΙΙ;; Κάπου έπεσα μέσα με τις προβλέψεις μου και κάπου απλά είπα οκει αυτό ήταν. Περιμένω σχόλια σας διότι με δίχασε αρκετά ❗ #book #books #bookstagram #booktok #booklove #bookblogger #booking #bookphotography #bookrecommendations #readingtime #read #reading #bookblogger #instabook #summerbooks #summervibes #βιβλιο #μυθιστόρημα #thrillerbooks #thriller #review #bookreview

✨ Book Review ✨ Title: Just For The Summer Author: Abby Jiminez Genre: Romance Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Format: 📖 Emojis to describe this book: 🐕🚽👩‍⚕️👯‍♀️❤️🚤🥰🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒😭🥺🥰 ➡️Swipe for the Goodreads Summary 💭 I loved every single page of this book. It had me hooked from the very first chapter. Justin and Emma are every thing I want in a romcom couple. The fun meet cute. The witty banter. The angst. The swooning. It was all done to perfection. Both Emma and Justin are recovering from unique and tragic trauma. I love how Abby Jiminez writes her characters working through deep, tough issues. She does it in a way that feels so authentic. This book is so much more than a romance. I loved the themes of overcoming tough childhoods, found family, friendship, choosing to stay even when it’s hard, and mother-child dynamics. If you loved Part of Your World and Yours Truly, you have to read this one. There are so many little Easter eggs from our favorite characters. I feel like every time I read a new Jiminez book, I declare it my new favorite. This is my new favorite…until the next! 🥰 Read if you like: ▫️found family ▫️witty banter ▫️fake dating ▫️unique meet cutes ▫️dual POV 💬 What is your favorite romance series?

𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝑩𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔 𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘 💖 (Spoiler free, apart from quotes) “𝑮𝒐 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒅𝒅𝒂𝒎𝒏 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅, 𝑩𝒆𝒚𝒂𝒉.” 🥺🥺🥺 Oh Samson. This was such an easy read, that was both heart warming & heart breaking. Nobody, and I mean nobody, should have to go through what Beyah did, especially as a child. I absolutely loved how much Samson helped Beyah navigate her trauma, and how much she believed in him, when nobody else did. “𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 - 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒂 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒂𝒚𝒃𝒆 𝑰’𝒎 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅.” 💌: what is your favourite Colleen Hoover book?

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW Title: Secretly yours Author: Tessa Bailey Length: 384 Genre: Romance Rating: 3.6/5.0 Reading Secretly yours was a fun experience. The main element that made the romance fun was the vastly different personalities of Hallie and Julian. While Julian is a disciplined, uptight college professor, Hallie is chaotic and is unable to keep a schedule. This difference in personalities created an entertaining dynamic. However, I thought the relationship development missed depth. I wanted to see more connection to be completely convinced that these two characters should be together. The main conflict in their relationship was their different personalities. This was convincing in the beginning of the book, but the repetitive argumentation became frustrating in the end. Especially Hallie used their personalities as an excuse to self-sabotage the relationship. The cast of characters was entertaining. While not completely well-rounded, both Hallie and Julian demonstrated enough depth in their characters to be relatable or to sympathise with. I would have liked to see a little more character growth, but overall, they were likeable protagonist. I also enjoyed the relationships the protagonist had with their friends and family. They had fun personalities and added necessary commentary or criticism on the behaviour of the protagonists. The story was set in a small town in the Napa Valley. The descriptions of the wineries and the gardens created a summery atmosphere. While there were some details about wine making, it was not essential to the story. Also, the community aspect of a small-town romance was not as present as it could have been. In conclusion, Secretly yours is a solid romance perfect for the warmer months. Rating breakdown: plot (3.5/5), characters (3.4/5), writing (4/5), worldbuilding (4/5), overall enjoyment (3/5) Trigger warnings: Death of a loved one, anxiety, alcoholism. Tropes: Grumpy vs sunshine, opposites attract, secret identity.
