4 Addicting Spring Reads You'll Stay in the Sun to Finish

By: Lucy Ugar

The weather is heating up, and the sun is coming out, and for me, that means it is time to read outside. Personally, there is nothing more satisfying than sitting out by the pool or lake or on a towel in the fresh grass while reading a book. Here are 4 addicting reads that scream spring vibes and will force you to stay outside until you turn the last page.

The Hotel Nantucket – Elin Hilderbrand

If you love the TV show The White Lotus, Elin Hildebrand is the author for you. This short and entertaining novel follows the life and drama of guests and staff at the exclusive Hotel Nantucket. This book feels like a gossip session with a friend, making it the perfect spring read. Elin’s descriptive writing makes you feel like you are an actual resident in Nantucket.

Seven Days in June – Tia Williams

Seven Days in June is a steamy rom-com about two writers who reunite years after a short, dramatic high school fling. Despite their distance, it turns out that both of them had been writing about each other in their novels while apart. This is the first book I had read by Tia Williams, and her writing blew my mind. I couldn’t put this book down. She perfectly balances addicting romance and funny narrative writing to make a fantastic read.

Happy Place – Emily Henry

What happens when a couple gets invited on a trip with their friend group, but no one knows they’ve broken up? This is the plot of my favorite Emily Henry novel, Happy Place. Any of her books will entertain you on a hot spring day, but this one is my personal favorite. The tension and “will they, won’t they” between the two main characters will have you hooked.

Pictures of You – Emma Grey

If you like more of a fast-paced mystery with a romance subplot, look no further than Pictures of You. Evie wakes up in a hotel room with severe amnesia and goes on a journey to uncover and rewrite the details of her past. This book intrigued me from the first chapter, and the way the plot unfolds through the two timelines is hugely satisfying. It’s short and fast-paced, making it the perfect book to finish in one or two sittings.
