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

If your idea of a great beach read is the witty, deeply human story of a messy woman trying to figure life out, then you'll love "Queenie" ($12, originally $19) by Candice Carty-Williams.

Queenie is a Jamaican-British woman in her mid-20s, and her life is not going to plan. She struggles with not fitting in completely with either culture, she faces constant comparisons from her privileged newspaper colleagues, she's just broken up with her boyfriend, and she's making a lot of questionable decisions. Along the way, though, she just might find what she really needs amid all the chaos.
