A monthly Beach Read staple is of course...the reading list. Welcome back to Baskforce member and resident #BookTok queenNicole Pearce (IG, TikTok). The Martha's Vineyard native knows just what to read on the beach this summer.
Hereare five books that I think deserve more hype on #booktok. I rarely if ever see them recommended but they are so, so good.
Lights All Night Long- It follows two brothers growing up in their home town in Russia, and then their lives go down very, very different paths.
The Great Believersfollows a group of friends in Chicago in the 80s during the AIDS epidemic. I finished this one a few weeks ago and have not been able to stop thinking about it.
The Heart's Invisible Furies- You'll feel all the feels in this one. You'll cry. You'll laugh. You will absolutely fall in love with the characters.
Long Bright River- This one is a thriller but with real depth. So it deals with topics like sister relationships and addiction. It's so good.
We Begin at the End- I'm almost positive I've recommended this one before. I absolutely loved this one. Something bad happens to a group of friends, and then it picks up with the same group about 30 years later. There's a thriller element to it, but it's so much more than that. You'll love the characters.
What I'm reading this month! The full post can be foundhere.
My Dark Vanessa - I feel like I'm the last person on Earth to read this book. It's about the psychological dynamics between a teenage girl and her teacher. It's also being increasingly referenced everywhere in pop culture, and I need to be in the know.
Bunny - The description of this book sounds a lot like Mean Girls, but much more sinister. i've been seeing this on TikTok for months and months and am so excited to finally read it.
