The Rosie Project was fun and easy to read. We Were Liars is a fast-paced book. I loved Station Eleven, but that is intense while also being a "can't put it down" book.
I also slogged through The Goldfinch and just started All the Light--is that later as hard to get through as Goldfinch? I was really looking forward to All the Light, but I'm having trouble getting into it and don't really look forward to reading it at night, like I do with most "great" books. |

Friendship - Emily Gould
The Vacationers - Emma Straub The Engagements - J. Courtney Sullivan I love a good beach (or metro!) read. I'll also throw out a classic on the off chance you haven't read it: Summer Sisters - Judy Blume |

Am I the only one who hated The Engagements? |

| Nonfiction but very enjoyable and generally light--Paris in Love. It's about an American family's year in Paris, and is short snippets about stuff like chocolate, the kids' misadventures in school, and seeing the sights. It was a really fun read. |

| If you like mysteries, the Sue Grafton alphabet books are fun light reads. But they are often murder mysteries, but not gory. |
