We all need to decompress during the summer months; sometimes, reading is the best way to do this. Nothing is better than curling up at the end of the day and reading a good book or throwing your book in your beach bag and spending some time reading at the beach. I love a good summer romance book with maybe a little bit of mystery and suspense. I love to fall in love with the characters, locations, and feelings that a good book has to offer. You might have more time for reading in the summer months because you take more vacation time off, so read these books to fill your summer reading cravings.
This trilogy is amazing! You won’t want to put any of these books down, and you will probably find that you can finish these books in one weekend.

This book is probably for the more teenage crowd but trusts me, everyone will enjoy these feel-good summer love stories. It will have you reminiscing about your summers from high school and college and all the summer romances that you had or wish you had. You have probably seen publicity for these books, as the first trilogy book was just turned into a television series you can stream through Amazon Prime. I recommend reading the first book of the trilogy, watching the first season of the tv show, and then going back to finish the rest of the trilogy. Sometimes when books get turned into movies, I don’t recommend watching the movie or tv show because it ruins them, but I found that the author Jenny Han did a fabulous job turning the first book into a tv show. Some aspects of the plot did change, but to be honest, I did not mind the alterations; in fact, quite the opposite. Don’t even get me started on the soundtrack that accompanied the series. It was fantastic! I finished the television series almost as fast as I finished the books! I recommend including this trilogy in your summer reading list.
