She has so much good gossip to spill. Kind of want to find it on someone's stoop instead of paying for it though :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-read#post-2756015 Fri, 07 Jul 2017 12:13:31 +0000 LCTBQE 2756015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you so much for the recommendations, everyone! @SweetiePie: ordered this :)<br /> and planning to find a couple others this afternoon before my trip. RIP local book store but I assume b&amp;n will have Alice Adams and the crazy rich asians. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-read#post-2755475 Thu, 06 Jul 2017 05:30:25 +0000 delight 2755475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: @Caly: I just started the Identicals today too!

Some books I've liked:</p> <p>The Nest<br /> Small Admissions<br /> The Wangs vs. The World<br /> The Vacationers (also Emma Straub)<br /> Eligible<br /> Crazy Rich Asians </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-read#post-2755133 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 12:26:19 +0000 codeitall 2755133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently read Anna Kendrick's book Scrappy Little Nobody and thought it was a pretty fun lighthearted look into Hollywood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-read#post-2755076 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 10:48:59 +0000 sojellybean 2755076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Invincible Summer by Alice Adams was a great vacation read, very similar to Modern Lovers. Also recommend: The Nest, The Last Letter from Your Lover by Jojo Moyes and Saints for All Occasions by J Courtney Sullivan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-read#post-2755067 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 10:22:07 +0000 SweetiePie 2755067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Caly: Liane Moriarty ❤️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-read#post-2755028 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 09:00:51 +0000 looch 2755028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally adore Judy Blume's adult books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-read#post-2755026 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 08:58:42 +0000 Caly 2755026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: Oooh, I'm actually starting The Identicals today :happy: </p> <p>@sweetiepie: your comment made me go check Giffins most recent books and it looks like I'm also behind. I need to get caught up!</p> <p>Like a couple others recommended, Liane Moriarty and Elin Hilderbrand are both great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-read#post-2755022 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 08:48:25 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2755022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Liane Moriarty is awesome!

Finally settled at the shore house so I'm planning to start really digging in during naptimes!<br /> I'm also behind on the last couple of Emily Giffin books so I plan to read those while here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-read#post-2754990 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 08:07:08 +0000 erinbaderin 2754990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Forever Summer by Jamie Brenner, the Hopefuls by Jennifer Close, the Identicals by Elin Hilderbrand, and Rich People Problems by Kevin Kwan are some I've read in the last few weeks - they would all make fantastic vacation reads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-read#post-2754949 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 07:06:26 +0000 autumnleaves 2754949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am reading 800 Grapes and like it so far.
