Summer reading has always had a particular fantasy to it. A linen shirt, an iced drink sweating beside you, and a coastal breeze if life is feeling particularly generous. Stories where people spiral a little, reinvent themselves dramatically, or stare out windows contemplating the meaning of existence. There’s just something about summer that magnifies emotion.

So whether you’re looking for sharp literary fiction, chaotic coming-of-age stories, or something emotionally devastating, these are the books to read this summer.
