30 Books to Pick Up Before You Go on Vacation With Your Best Friends

Beatriz Williams's historical fiction novel, The Summer Wives, combines themes of money, class, and power as it takes us on a trip to Winthrop Island in the 1950s and then again a decade later. Both times we ride along with Miranda Schuyler, whose new stepfather and stepsister change her life in unexpected (and not always positive) ways.
