The Best Books of Summer 2019

Whether lounging on the beach or sitting poolside, there's no better company on vacation than a good book. We share what's in our reading each month during Book Club, but these are the books we are most looking forward to packing in our beach bags this Summer.

Summer Break is well under way, but there is still lots more summer in everyone's future. We've received a ton of messages asking what our recommendations are so we thought we would put them in one nice and tidy post. 

From psychological thrillers to contemporary romances these are the beach worthy reads you'll want to download on your Kindle and pack in your suitcase this summer.

Last Time I Saw You looks to be the addictive, can't put down at night book of the summer. As an heiress to a large fortune, wife to the perfect husband, mom to an adorable daughter, a great career, and a beautiful home, Dr. Kate English seems to have it all. Until the brutal murder of her own mother and an ominous text letting her know someone is out to get her.

The Golden Hour by Beatriz Williams
A Hundred Summers tops both of our all-time reading lists, and many of Williams' novels go down as some of our favorites. We can't wait to have our toes in the sand, a drink in hand, and dig into her latest novel, The Golden Hour. This one takes us back to 1941 and the high society of the Bahamas. Lulu is sent by her magazine to investigate the Governor and finds herself smack dab in a murder mystery.
