30 Must-Read Summer Books You Need in Your Beach Bag

Rachel Khong's first novel, Goodbye, Vitamin, is an exploration of what it means to return home to the world you thought you'd once left behind — and what can never be the same. After 30-year-old Ruth splits up with her fiancé, she decides it's time to take a little break from life and quits her job to move back in with her parents. The one thing she hadn't anticipated, however, is the fact that with time her parents have aged — and every moment recounted in the book is unpredictable, poignant, and downright fascinating.
