The 30 Best Beach Reads to Add to Your Summer Reading List

Sarah Adler combines the joy of a summer road trip rom-com with the seriousness of dealing with grief in the delightful "Mrs. Nash's Ashes" ($11, originally $17).

Millie is on a mission to fulfill a promise she made to her elderly BFF before she died: to take her ashes to reunite her with her long-ago lost love in Florida. The attempt to make the trip, however, soon turns into a comedy of errors, forcing her to hitch a ride with Hollis, a writer and college acquaintance of Millie's nasty ex-boyfriend. They become reluctant road-trip buddies, and maybe help each other work through the things that are holding them back.
