We've included two must-read Colleen Hoover titles that will leave you on the edge of your seat, plus an Emily Henry romantic comedy you won't want to put down.

If you're looking for a personal recommendation, I'm a huge fan of Miranda July, and her new novel All Fours is likely my favorite book of the summer. If you enjoy stories that delve into the intertwining of romance and self-discovery, narrated by a protagonist at a pivotal moment in her life, then this funny, quirky, and emotionally transformative novel is a must-read for you.

And if you're new to the reading-for-fun game, there are so many reasons to dive in!

But if you need just three – books are a form of portable entertainment that don't require a charger. They're easy to pack in a purse, bag, or backpack, and they're a fun mental escape that's not being sucked into your phone.

It's time to immerse yourself in the world of summer reading. No matter if you're poolside in Los Angeles or Las Vegas, spending your summer vacation feeling the ocean breezes in North Carolina or Rhode Island, or just need something to do on your work commute through Chicago or New York, your next summer read is waiting below.
