What are some of the best summer romance novels?

One of the best summer romance novels is 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' by Jenny Han. It's a story full of young love and beachy vibes. Another great one is 'Second Chance Summer' which tugs at the heartstrings with its themes of family and love during a summer. 'Beach Read' is also a wonderful choice, with its two writers falling in love while spending their summers writing at the beach.

I would recommend 'One Day in December'. It's a novel that starts with a chance encounter during the winter but the relationship develops over the summers. 'The Unhoneymooners' is also great. It's about two people who end up on a honeymoon together during the summer and their relationship blossoms. And 'Red, White & Royal Blue' which has a political backdrop but also a beautiful summer - time romance between the two main characters.

Well, 'People We Meet on Vacation' was quite popular in summer 2022. It's about two friends who take vacations together every year and there's this underlying romantic tension throughout. 'The Ex Talk' is another good one. It has a unique premise where two ex - lovers have to work together on a radio show about relationships, which leads to some really interesting romantic developments. And don't forget 'The Roughest Draft' which delves into the relationship between two co - authors that has a lot of romantic and emotional depth.

A classic would be 'Nancy Drew: The Secret of the Old Clock'. While it's a mystery series, there are elements of summer romance in some of the books. Nancy has her share of admirers and there are always some sweet, budding romances set during the summer months in the idyllic small towns she visits.

One popular summer 2019 romance novel could be 'The Unhoneymooners' by Christina Lauren. It has a fun plot where two enemies are forced to go on a honeymoon together, and of course, sparks fly. Another might be 'Red, White & Royal Blue' which combines a cross - cultural and political backdrop with a sweet love story between two young men. And 'The Flatshare' was also well - received. It has an interesting premise of two people sharing an apartment but on different schedules and they start to fall for each other in a rather unconventional way.

One great summer beach novel is 'The Beach' by Alex Garland. It takes readers on an adventure to a secluded beach paradise in Thailand. Another is 'Ella Minnow Pea' by Mark Dunn, which is a very unique and engaging read.

Also, 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before' has a great summer - themed love plot where Lara Jean experiences a new kind of love during the summer break.

Some great summer mystery novels include 'Rebecca' by Daphne du Maurier. The mystery unfolds in a large mansion during the summer, with the new bride trying to figure out the secrets of her husband's first wife, Rebecca. 'In Cold Blood' by Truman Capote is also a great choice. Although not a traditional 'summer' story in the sense of a beach read, the mystery of the Clutter family murders in a small Kansas town during a cold November has the same kind of gripping, mysterious quality. And 'The Secret History' by Donna Tartt, which has a group of students involved in a mysterious and deadly event during their college days which has a certain summer - like intensity.

The novel 'The Love Hypothesis' which was also popular in summer 2021. It features a fake - dating trope between a grad student and a professor. The story is full of humor and the relationship between the two main characters is really engaging. There are also some scientific elements in it which add an interesting touch.

One popular new summer romance novel is 'The Summer of Second Chances'. It tells a heartwarming story of a woman who goes back to her hometown during summer and rediscovers love.
