I picked up Modern Lovers by Emma Straub for our upcoming vacation but am already half way through it. What have you read lately that you loved? Looking for diet-lite fiction but not trash 
You might also enjoy...

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid was excellent.
-
Do you like biographies? I read Angelica Hustons and Alec Baldwins recently and they are both fantastic.
-
I am reading 800 Grapes and like it so far. The Magnolia Story is on my list.
-
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.
-
It's not light-hearted and fun but I started Into the Water by Paula Hawkins (The Girl on the Train) and loving it. Finally settled at the shore house so I'm planning to start really digging in during naptimes!
I'm also behind on the last couple of Emily Giffin books so I plan to read those while here. -
Cant help with authors but I just finished these and they are perfect beach reads
800 Grapes
The Curious Incidence of Coconut Cake
The Nest
The Divorce Party -
Confessions of a Domestic Failure is a really light read and good for moms.
-
Liane Moriarty is awesome! Any of her books
-
@erinbaderin: Oooh, I'm actually starting The Identicals today
@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!
Like a couple others recommended, Liane Moriarty and Elin Hilderbrand are both great.
-
I personally adore Judy Blume's adult books.
-
@Caly: Liane Moriarty

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.
-
I recently read Anna Kendrick's book Scrappy Little Nobody and thought it was a pretty fun lighthearted look into Hollywood.
-
I enjoyed Modern Lovers! Some books I've liked:
The Nest
Small Admissions
The Wangs vs. The World
The Vacationers (also Emma Straub)
Eligible
Crazy Rich Asians -
@MrsSCB: Did you know Crazy Rich Asians has two sequels? China Ex-Girlfriend and the new one, which I'm just finishing, Rich People Problems.
-
@erinbaderin: Was just coming into recommend the series!
-
@erinbaderin: Ahh, I read the second one but didn't know there was a third! I'm ready for something new to read, so I'm buying it now. Thanks!
-
@erinbaderin: @Caly: I just started the Identicals today too! I always read Elin Hilderbrand in the summer. I love reading about life on Nantucket!
-
Thank you so much for the recommendations, everyone! @SweetiePie: ordered this
and planning to find a couple others this afternoon before my trip. RIP local book store but I assume b&n will have Alice Adams and the crazy rich asians. -
@mrsjd: I forgot that I intended to read the Anjelica Huston bio! She has so much good gossip to spill. Kind of want to find it on someone's stoop instead of paying for it though
