Summer "Beach" Reads!

One of my favorite genres to read is chick-lit, which can often be classified as summer or beach reads! These are light, fun, often humorous novels geared towards women. I'm going to tell you about some of the ones I've really enjoyed that you'll want to pack in your beach bags this summer:


Cure For the Common Breakup by Beth Kendrick - I loved this one, featuring a sassy flight attendant and a small town with a breakup theme, designed for women who have had their hearts broken. It includes businesses like the "Eat Your Heart Out Bakery" and the "Better Off Bed-and-Breakfast." This one is both funny and sweet and is full of romance and friendship... and look at that cover. Can you say yum?!

 

Shoe Addicts Anonymous by Beth Harbison - This is a really fun one about four women, each dealing with their own unique problems, who get together each week to swap shoes and form friendships. There is also a sequel called Secrets of a Shoe Addict. Harbison has written a number of wonderful chick-lit reads, and I always recommend her.


The Next Big Thing by Johanna Edwards - This is fast, one-day read. I loved it and flew through it because it features one of my favorite things: reality TV. This is about an overweight woman who is a contestant on From Fat to Fabulous. She'd love to win the cash prize, but also finally face up to an in-person meeting with the man she met online who thinks she's a lot thinner than she is.


Rosie Dunne by Cecelia Ahern - This is not only one of my favorite chick-lit books, it's one of my favorite books, period. Oh, it just kills me! It's about Rosie and Alex, friends since childhood, who are clearly meant for each other. Despite destiny, things keep getting in the way of them ever being together, most notably an unexpected pregnancy. I love this one so much because, ya know, who doesn't love true love and fate?
