There\u2019s something about the heat that amplifies relaxation. We\u2019re definitely out sideee all summer, but on those days when the living is particularly steamy, we\u2019d rather swap the sweaty mess of the outdoors for a good book or three. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The list spans genres of comedy, drama, light mysteries, and some steamy romance, all capturing the awry ambience of the summer weather. The cosy couch in your house, a beach, or the greeny garden you might find yourself in will reflect these carefully selected reads. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Comedy of Nobodies<\/strong> – Baron Ryan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The popular content creator and TikToker known as \u201cAmerican Baron\u201d released his debut story collection in May, described by the filmmaker-turned-author as \u2018Seinfeld meets Fleabag in Charlie\u2019s Harvard.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis<\/em>: Charlie knows he\u2019s not the main character in his own story. He\u2019s just another guy trying to get through life in the Ivy League. He plays in a terrible jazz band, falls in love too easily, and generally struggles with being human. With understated hilarity, this collection chronicles Charlie and his friends as they explore the meaning of life through the stories they grew up with, the stories they tell each other, and the stories they tell themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Charlie tries to find love using the scientific method, babysits a toddler for a chance to loosen those financial aid purse strings, jumps out a window to escape a jealous football player\u2019s wrath, and enrages a packed hockey stadium by replacing the national anthem with a jazztrio rendition of \u201cAmerican Pie,\u201d he discovers that the answers to life\u2019s most pressing questions are almost always just more questions\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family Meal<\/strong> – Bryan Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With his signature generosity and eye for capturing food, sex, love, and the moments that make us human, Bryan Washington returns with another brilliant novel. Family Meal is an irresistible novel about two young men, once best friends, who reconnect after a loss. It\u2019s a story about how those who know us best can hurt us the most, but also set the standard for love.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis<\/em>: Cam is living in Los Angeles and falling apart after the love of his life has died. Kai\u2019s ghost won\u2019t leave Cam alone; his spectral visits are wild, tender, and unexpected. When Cam returns to his hometown of Houston, he crashes back into the orbit of his former best friend, TJ, and TJ\u2019s family bakery. TJ\u2019s not sure how to navigate this changed Cam, who is impenetrably cool and self-destructing, or their charged estrangement. Can they find a way past all that has been said\u2014and left unsaid\u2014to save each other? Could they find a way back to being okay again, or maybe for the first time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People We Meet on Vacation<\/strong> – Emily Henry <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The 2021 best-seller makes our list for its melodic and perfectly timed summer vibe. The book introduces us to loveable characters and offers a fresh take on the well-worn friends-to-lovers trope.

The Sex Lives of African Women<\/strong> – by Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on five years of meticulous archival and field research, countless interviews, scholarly works, and her own experiences, Ghanaian author Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah lifts the veil on African women\u2019s sexual experiences, desires, and fantasies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis<\/em>: People often use the phrase \u201csexual liberation\u201d to mean sensationalised sexual antics or as a euphemism for impulsive responses to heartbreak or longing for sexual experience and approval. However, Sekyiamah sets out to show that the struggle for sexual liberty is distinguished by the diversity of experiences presented, the abundance of intimate details, and the complete lack of sensationalism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The war on women\u2019s autonomy reveals its truest face here: sexual abuse, domestic violence, child marriage, and FGM. Sekyiamah\u2019s book studies how this war impacts every aspect of social life, tearing it apart, and how the impunity of our oppressors perpetuates a never-ending cycle of evil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A summer of romance awaits you in this 2018 heartwarming debut novel of the bestselling author Helen Hoang. The Kiss Quotient is quite an unusual romance novel, tackling at its best to portray autism in the romance genre. It\u2019s the perfect blend of sweet and steamy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis<\/em>: Stella Lane thinks maths is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases\u2014a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old. It doesn\u2019t help that Stella has Asperger\u2019s, and French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by a pilot fish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her conclusion: she needs lots of practice\u2014with a professional. Which is why she hires an escort, Michael Phan. The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can\u2019t afford to turn down Stella\u2019s offer and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan\u2014from foreplay to more-than missionary position… Before long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses, but to crave all the other things he\u2019s making her feel. Soon, their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo<\/strong> – by Taylor Jenkins Reid <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a widely popular historical drama novel by American novelist Taylor Jenkins Reid, published in 2017.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis<\/em>: It delves into the glamorous and tumultuous life of the enigmatic Hollywood icon Evelyn Hugo. The story is narrated by Monique Grant, a young journalist who is given the exclusive opportunity to interview Evelyn Hugo, now in her late seventies, about her legendary career and her seven marriages and sensational relationships that shaped her career and personal life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Monique delves deeper into Evelyn\u2019s story, she uncovers shocking revelations that force her to confront her past and identity. At times compelling, awful, ambitious Evelyn, at times complicated husbands, and a dive into the socio-political heartbreak and brevity, this book stands the test of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sun is also a Star<\/strong> – by Nicola Yoon <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Adding to her contemporary collection of books such as Everything, Everything, Yoon had us fall in love with this 2016 radiant romantic experience \u2013 poetic and urgent.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis<\/em>: Natasha is a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. She\u2019s not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when her family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won\u2019t be her story. Daniel has always been the good son, the good student, living up to his parents\u2019 high expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when he sees her, he forgets about all that. Something about Natasha makes him think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store\u2014for both of us. Every moment in their lives has brought them to this single moment. A million futures lie before them. Which one will come true?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
