3 of the best beach reads

By definition, a ‘beach read’ is a book that’s insatiable to all readers, one that’s easily digested alongside an iced tea or spiked seltzer. Summer is the season for fun fiction read in a hammock, poolside or at the park. I’m stoked to add these three reads to my list before the sun sets on summer. If you’re even more voracious than me and burn through these three, check out Vogue’s ‘12 Beach Reads to Get Lost in This Summer.’
