**Summer Reads to Beat the Heat**

As the summer season approaches, many of us are looking for books that capture the essence of warm weather and long days spent outdoors. In this article, we'll explore some fantastic summer reads that are sure to transport you to a world of fun, romance, and adventure.

**A Romance Story with a Quirky Twist**

One of my favorite summer reads is "All the Boys I've Loved Before" by Jenny Han. This romance novel takes place primarily during the school year, but its charming and quirky tone evokes the feeling of warm weather. The main character writes letters to all the boys she's loved before as a way to get over them and move on, but things take an unexpected turn when someone sends out these letters, causing her to deal with the fallout. This story is adorable and super enjoyable, making it the perfect summer read.

**A Summer of Change**

Another excellent summer read is "What I Thought Was True" by Huntley Fitzpatrick. This book takes place on a beautiful island that serves as a summer resort destination, where the main character has lived her entire life. When one of the boys she had a fling with from the mainland ends up moving to the island, she must navigate the challenges of their new relationship and learn to accept the changes it brings. With its lighthearted tone and focus on relationships, this book is a great choice for anyone looking for a summer romance.

**Summer Reads that Capture the Essence**

For some readers, summer reads are synonymous with beach vacations and sun-kissed days. If you're looking for books that evoke the feeling of summer, look no further than these three titles.

The first is "The Summer I Turned Pretty" by Jenny Han, which takes place during the summer season and follows the main character as she navigates her relationships with two brothers who have been a part of her life since childhood. As she matures and grows into a young woman, the dynamics between them shift, leading to unexpected changes in their relationships.

Next up is "The Unexpected Everything" by Morgan Matson, which is widely regarded as one of the best summer reads out there. The main character's father is embroiled in a scandal that forces her to reevaluate her plans for the summer and find new ways to cope with uncertainty. With its strong characters and themes of resilience and growth, this book is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever felt lost or uncertain about their place in the world.

Last but not least is "Since You've Been Gone" by Morgan Matson, which also explores themes of change and growth through the lens of a summer romance. The main character's best friend disappears during the summer, leaving behind a bucket list for her to complete, which serves as a catalyst for self-discovery and personal growth.

**A Satirical Tale with a Touch of Humor**

Finally, we have "Beauty Queens" by Libba Bray, a satire that takes place on a plane that crashes on an island, where the passengers are forced to navigate their relationships and personalities in order to survive. This book is a hilarious and engaging read, with a strong focus on themes such as identity, community, and resilience.

The audio version of this book is particularly noteworthy, featuring commercial breaks that add to its comedic charm. Overall, "Beauty Queens" is a great choice for anyone looking for a lighthearted summer read with a touch of satire.

**A Summer Recommendation from an Expert**

In conclusion, these books are sure to provide hours of entertainment and enjoyment during the summer season. Whether you're in the mood for romance, adventure, or satire, there's something on this list for everyone.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey everyone it's haly and today I'm going to be giving you guys my guide to Summertime reading so I kind of came up with this idea when I was sitting and trying to plan my videos for June and I think I'm going to do seasonal recommendations videos so just kind of like my guide to fall reading my guide to Winter reading my guide to Spring reading I think really the only one that will be difficult is spring because I don't know there's not really a particular genre that I want to read in Spring that I don't want to read in summer so I don't know but I'm going to it anyway so today is the first version of that series of videos that I'm going to be doing and obviously it is summer time I know a lot of you guys are going to be starting summer soon if not already I've been on summer vacation for a month now because I get four months of summer vacation um so I am already in summer mode so I've already started my summer reading and know what kind of books that I think just get me in that summery mood so I'm going to be recommending those books to you guys today in different categories some of them don't even fit in the category but I'm going to go through the categories first so then you guys can get an idea of it um so basically I'm going to be talking about books about road trips books that deal with any kind of traveling romances and then just plain old like summary books books that just for some reason make me want to be in summertime and laying by a pool in the sun just that kind of book so I hope that these recommendations are helpful to you guys and as per usual if I have any reviews for any of these books they will be linked down below for you guys okay so let's get into it so I have tons of books to talk about today so I'm not going to get too much into synopsises for them so the first category is road trips and the first book I wanted to recommend is Paper Towns by John Green this book deals with a road trip that doesn't take place during the summer but um the whole book they're trying to find Margot and it's after the main character Q has gone on this crazy adventure he's been in love with her forever they went on a crazy adventure this one night and now it's about to be summertime they can't find Margot so they go on this road trip and try to go and find her and it's really a book about friendship how um road trips help friendship it's just a really great road trip book and makes me just want to get in a car and drive wherever next is amen Rogers epic detour by Morgan Matson this is probably the ultimate road trip book it's a book that follows um Amy her father has just died in a car accident and um her she has to get the car from where they used to live to their new house so her mother has um enlisted their family friend Roger to drive with her from their like their old house to the new house but she's given them this route but Amy and Roger decide that they are going to take their own route and go on this crazy adventure to get to where they need to be but they're taking some detours along the way this book just is so fun and it's just kind of about finding yourself like it's super fun but but it also packs a really big punch and I love the fact that it has like I can't I can never find any when I'm looking for them um it has like little things in it like this that have like pictures of where they've been um things about like the state that they're in the motto the side like all of those things it's just so fun and those little extras just make it so much better and they just contribute to the story so much more and make it seem like it's just real and I just love this book so so much and the last road trip book is the disenchantments by Nina lur this book is a road trip book about um this group that is kind of they're like this band but their band isn't very good but they go on tour anyways and this is all about their tour and it's their last tour before they're supposed to be going off to college and wherever um so they're all kind of going their separate ways so they're taking this one last grand harra and it's just super fun really unique and I love the characters in this they are really engaging and it's just a really fun book about friendship and road trips next category is just plane travel so it's not necessarily hey plane travel so not necessarily in a car but possibly in a plane you see what I did there anyways you may not be going anywhere this summer I know I usually am not but for the past two summers I have been going places um this summer I'm actually going to France super exciting but anyways um so yeah you might be not be going anywhere but you can pick up a book and go wherever in the world you want and travel along with them so the first book Is Just One Day by Gail Foreman this whole duology takes place in all different parts of the world and you get to see the two main characters travel everywhere and it is awesome um the first part of this book takes place in the summer before the main character is going off to college so she's trying to kind of find herself and she's really struggling with that so um you you really get to see inside her mind and how this summer is really kind of the last summer before for the beginning of her life so it's really crazy and that summer will be coming up for me soon like I feel like my last summer before the beginning the beginning of my life is going to be next summer um if not the summer after like when I'm graduating from University and moving on to the real world I can't believe that's coming up soon that is so weird to me but whatever but yeah so it's kind of the anxieties that come along with that summer and trying to have fun but at the same time being like you know what's happening in September and it's super intimidating next is the geography of you and me by Jennifer E Smith this book travels all around the world and you have the two characters they spent this one crazy night together and they ended up really gaining these feelings for each other but then they end up being separated and they're all over the world completely like on opposite sides of the world and trying to build this relationship despite that so it's really kind of a romance that is trying to overcome distance and time and it's really just a nice quick read it's not the best book I've ever read but it helped me get out of my reading slub it's super quick super fun and I would definitely recommend traveling along with it next up we have romances so in the summer I just love a Cheesy just completely corny fluffy romance and I think the epitome of fluffy romances is the Anna and the French Kiss Trilogy by um Stephanie Perkins this is just all the fluff all the romance but so enjoyable and just so great I love these books so much um these you get to travel with as well this one takes place in Paris and then um San Francisco and then this one is in New York so you get to just go all over the world throughout the course of this Trilogy and you get to fall in love with these characters a different character for each book cuz it's companion Trilogy and their romance stories are just fabulous and these are just the books that like if you're going on like a long plane ride I would bring one of these or if you were going on like a um if you're going to sit by the pool these books are great for that next is to all the boys I've Lov before by Jenny Han this is a romance that actually takes place majority of the time during the school year but I still think it just has such a cute romance that it gives me those summer Vibes um so basically the main character she has written letters to all the boys that she's loved before and she writes them to get over them and move on but then someone and we don't know who sends out these letters and she has to deal with the Fallout of that so it turns into this really cute and quirky romance story and it's just adorable and super enjoyable next is what I thought was true by Huntley Fitzpatrick so this girl lives on this island that is kind of like a summer resort island and um she has lived there her whole life and her everyone else lives on the mainland but then one of the boys that she kind of had a fling with um from the mainland ends up moving to the island that she lives on and she kind of had has to deal with that and the fact that she doesn't really want to deal with it but she has to because he's there so she kind of has to learn to deal with the Fallout of that and it kind of is starting to ruin her summer so this just takes place during the summer it's a really cute romance and it's just it's a really great book and my last category is just summery books so these books either take place in summer or have a summer like setting so they just make me think of summer so the first one is the Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han this book obviously takes place during the summer and um I really love it because it's the main character comes back and she always sees her um family friends which are these guys she sees them every single summer but this summer is different because um she's really matured through the year and she's kind of now a woman and the guys aren't just seeing her as one of the guys anymore they're starting to really see her as a girl and it's kind of her trying to come to terms with that and the fact that every summer everything's different and this summer especially everything has completely changed and it hasn't necessarily changed for the better so um it's just a really fun summary book next is the unexpected everything by Morgan Matson I love this book so much it is so great and it is just I think the epitome of a summer readed um the main character her father's a politician and she um was supposed to be going away for um the summer to this camp for like really smart people and then um there's this whole huge scandal with her father and she ends up not being able to go to this Camp anymore so she has to move in with her dad and she has to find something else to do with the summer and it's her really trying to accept the fact that you can't plan out your whole life and I think that the characters are just great the whole entire story just gave me intense summer Vibes and I think if you're going to pick up one book from this list this summer it definitely has to be this one next also by Morgan Matson is since you've been gone um I think Morgan Matson is just a great summer book writer like the her books just scream summer to me um the only one that I haven't read is Second Chance summer and it says summer in it so I'm sure it's going to be summery as well but this book is so good and it's this girl who um her and her best friend are like two P two peas in a pod and she's kind of more reserved and her best friend is really outgoing so then her best friends ends up disappearing in during the summer and she left and just left this bucket list for her friend to complete and it has all these things that are trying to get her out of her shell so it's really cool and it's a really nice look at friendship and um kind of a summer of rediscovery which I like and my last recommendation is beauty queens by liba Bray this book takes place on an island which is really the only summary thing about it but it deals with um this pageant their plane crashed on this island and it's all the girls like trying to become friends trying to survive on this island it's like a super weird book but it's really enjoyable and super funny like it's 100% a satire and it deals with so many important issues and it's just so much fun I highly recommend the audio book for this one because there's like commercial breaks and it's just great so those are all of my summertime recommendations let me know um if you have read any of these books your thoughts on them or what your plans are for the summer so yeah I hope you guys enjoyed and I'll see you guys in the next video byehey everyone it's haly and today I'm going to be giving you guys my guide to Summertime reading so I kind of came up with this idea
