Let’s be honest, as much as we’d all love to read a book every once in a while for our own enjoyment, it just isn’t likely to happen with a hectic class schedule and more than enough assigned reading. This summer is the perfect chance to catch up on your growing reading list! Whether you’re relaxing on the beach, by a pool or just at home there’s nothing better than curling up with a good book. Not sure where to start? Check out the list of our top 6 reads for the summer below!

 

Fun Reads

We’ve never read a book by Chelsea Handler that we haven’t loved, and that includes her latest book “Uganda Be Kidding Me”. This hilarious book its an easy read and is sure to keep you laughing all summer long.

“The Beginning of Everything” is one book that you will not be able to put down. While it’s written about high school students it manages to stay relatable to college students because of the general theme of self discovery, who you are as a person and who you want to be. With plenty of drama and romance thrown in, this book is one that we want to read over and over again.
