Beach Read by Emily Henry: Augustus Everett and January Andrews are two writers with nothing in common except the fact that they’re both facing a severe bout of writer’s block. Spending the summer as neighbors, the two will challenge each other to write something completely new. Will they find a connection with one another along the way?

It's about two polar-opposite writers staying in neighboring beach houses for the summer, one a romance writer and the other trying to write the next Great American Novel. Faced with writer's block, they decide to swap topics and spend the summer teaching each other the ins and outs of writing their genres, all while competing to publish their own book first. With plenty of romance, scenes that might make you cry, and an interesting (and accurate) inside look at the process of writing a book, this is an easy one to read in the sun.

Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert: Is it too much to ask for Danika Brown to be in a friends-with-benefits relationship with security guard Zafir Ansari? That’s all she wants, but it all takes a turn when a video of them goes viral and the world begins to view them as a couple. Playing along to increase publicity for Zaf’s charity, it’s not long before Dani begins to develop real feelings.

People must love Dani's intelligence and the anti-toxic masculinity storyline around Zafir.
