Young Adult Beach Reads
Coney Island, Rockaway Beach, Jersey Shore… summer is all about the beach! And no beach bag is complete without a beach read. For me, beach reads are not a defined genre, but rather a loose collection of types of books that are perfect for sitting out by the pool or while spread out on a beach towel. My beach reads include books in tropical/beachy locations, books that take place in the summer, romances, and gripping genre books like fantasy, sci fi, and thrillers, where I can get totally immersed in the story.
These are some great reads:
Summer, Vacations, and Islands
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
This One Summer by Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki
The Carnival at Bray by Jessie Ann Foley
The Square Root of Summer by Harriet Reuter Hapgood
Love and Romance
We Should Hang Out Sometime by Josh Sundquist
Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel by Sara Farizan
An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
Romiette and Julio by Sharon Draper
Get Lost in a Story
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
Nimona by Noelle Stevenson
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
All the Truth That’s in Me by Julie Berry
Pack your beach bag with one of these reads and don’t forget the sunscreen!
