[quote=Anonymous]We have some similar tastes, so I pulled up my “rated titles” list on the library ebook site. I rate by how successful it is for its genre, so a trashy book can get a 5 if it’s successfully trashy. Many of my 5s were already in your list and many more are too deep/depressing for vacations (I too read Empire of Pain on vacation, but at least it wasn’t as bad as the memoir about a dying father that had me crying through my hotel breakfast!). Here are the rest:

Map of Salt and Stars (about refugees, but more mystical than depressing)

Book lovers and People we meet on vacation, both by Emily Henry

Lessons in chemistry

The Memory Police (but it’s snowy cold, which could be either a  nice contrast or very out of place at the beach)

Luster, by Raven Leilani (reviews seemed love-it-or-hate-it but I read on vacation and got very drawn in)

She Would be King by Moore

Untamed Shore, Mexican Gothic, and Gods of jade and shadow by Garcia-Moreno

Less, by Greer

Not the end of the world, by Atkinson (I hate short stories, but Atkinson writes so well)

The Other Black Girl

The Wanderers by Howry

The Disappearing Act by Steadman (good beach read)

The Push by Audrain

Mambo in Chinatown by Kwok

The Ten Thousand Doors of January (good story in the same way as Addie LaRue, but shorter and lighter)
