[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like Emma Straub books for summer reading. I also enjoyed The Most Fun We Ever Had by Claire Lombardo on a recent vacation.[/quote]

Love these. Not OP but do you have any other recs? I feel like I gravitate towards the “slightly more literary beach reads.” I tried Sarah J Maas one time and it honestly made for a horrible beach read since it’s too trite for me.[/quote]

PP here. I would put Astonish Me and Seating Arrangements by Maggie Shipstead in this category maybe. Also Early Morning Riser by Katherine Heany. Maybe also Less by Andrew Sean Greer.[/quote]

Thank you! Seems we are good literary pals. I really enjoy Maggie Shipstead too! I did read the Interestings nearly a decade ago, I don’t remember it very well so I would be up for a reread. Adding Heany and Greer to my list.

For you, I liked Writers and Lovers by Lily King, The Dearly Beloved by Cara Wall, and Shuggie Bain (not a beach read). A little bit different vibe but you may also like The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin.[/quote]
