“Husbands and Lovers” by Beatriz Williams If you’re interested in historical fiction but want the feeling of flipping through a beach read, “Husbands and Lovers” by Beatriz Williams is at the top of my recommendations list. Two women who have been separated by decades and continents discover second chances at love after being reconnected by a family heirloom. Williams’ writing style is right up my alley, and it was a delightful read on warm days.

“Swan Song” by Elin Hilderbrand Sadly, “Swan Song” is the last of Elin Hilderbrand’s glorious Nantucket-set novels. She’s the Queen of Beach Reads for a reason, with this one being a favorite. “I absolutely love Elin Hilderbrand’s writing; in fact, I’ve read everything she’s written,” Sarah Gelman, editorial director at Amazon Books, told the New York Post.
