Bestselling author Carley Fortune recommended some of her favorite summer beach reads. Carley’s best summer read suggestions:

  • On Fire Island by Jane L. Rosen, a surprising new novel about a book editor spending one last summer on Fire Island after her unexpected death. 
  • Mrs. Nash’s Ashes by Sarah Adler, which takes you on the road trip of a lifetime with a starry-eyed romantic, a cynical writer, and (the ashes of) her elderly best friend. 
  • Much Ado About Nada by Uzma Jalaluddin, a second-chance romance set at a massive Muslim conference, inspired by Jane Austen’s Persuasion.  
  • Sunshine Nails Mai Nguyen, a tender debut about a Vietnamese Canadian family in Toronto who will do whatever it takes to protect their no-frills nail salon.
