Hit the Beach — or the Couch — With the 52 Best Summer Reads of 2021

Beach Read was one of the best romance reads of 2020, and somehow Emily Henry's People We Meet on Vacation is just as good (and dare we say it — maybe even better). Every summer for the past decade, Poppy and Alex have vacationed together, but after a falling out leaves them estranged for two years, Poppy knows she has just one chance to reunite with her friend. With everything riding on this one last vacation, she's ready to put her heart on the line to prove to Alex they're better together than they are apart.
