Now that we can all agree a book is the hottest accessory you can carry, it’s time to actually open one. Whether you are beach-lounging, brunch-waitlisting, or hiding from yet another group holiday chat, here are the newest book drops that will keep you hooked all summer long.
From Emily Henry’s reliably swoony page-turners to Sayaka Murata’s genre-bending weirdness, Scaachi Koul’s real-talk essays to debut gems like Fundamentally and Julie Chan is Dead, these books aren’t just literary sunscreen for your brain. They’re sharp, hilarious, tender, twisted, and totally unputdownable. Add them to your summer TBR pile if you are looking to be enlightened or entertained.
