I have three great summer reads for you. The first, This Summer Will be Different by Carley Fortune, is a slow burn romance. It follows Lucy and Felix over five years as they try to decide on their future. The problem that keeps coming up is that Lucy’s best friend is Felix’s sister, and she has forbidden them to date! The second book, One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware, is a perfect summer mystery. The plot follows five couples on a reality tv show filmed on a remote island. As you can imagine, people start dying one by one. Can any of them survive before they are rescued? And the last book, Jackpot Summer by Elyssa Friedland, just might be one of my favorite books of the year. It follows four siblings, whose mother passed away, and they are helping dad clean out their Jersey shore home before dad moves to Florida. One night three of the siblings decide to play the New Jersey lottery while the fourth sibling states it’s a waste of money. Well, they hit the jackpot. One sibling is left out, are the other siblings happy with their new money, and can they get their family back together again? This book was a really enjoyable read on how a family loves, fights, and makes up. Happy Reading!
