The first rule of summer: Iced coffee. The second rule: Take cover, book cover that is. This summer, many of our favorite Reese’s Book Club authors are giving us a few juicy, plot-twist-filled reasons to take a little time to our shelves. July kicks off with a new cinematic story from Leah Johnson and gets even hotter with new ones from Jasmine Guillory and Megan Miranda. Paging: Every available moment left to soak up these books.
Rise to the Sun by Leah Johnson
July 1, 2021
The Short Story: Two girls attend a three-day music festival for two very different reasons—one to get their mind off the fallout of a recent breakup and the other searching for answers after her musician father passes away.
Adds to TBR because… With her crown very much still on, Leah Johnson follows up her YA debut with a stunning and cinematic story about grief, love, and the remarkable power of music to heal and connect us all.
The Stranger in the Mirror by Liv Constantine
July 6, 2021
The Short Story: Addison’s about to get married, but she’s not looking forward to the big day. It’s not her fiancé; he’s a wonderful man. It’s because Addison lost her memory a few years ago and doesn’t know who she really is.
Adds to TBR because… Like the postman, Liv Constantine never fails to deliver. Her latest is filled with the jaw-dropping twists you’ve come to expect, with enough of an unsettling edge that you’ll need a few days at the beach to recover.
While We Were Dating by Jasmine Guillory
July 13, 2021
The Short Story: Two people realize that it’s no longer an act when they veer off-script in this sizzling romantic comedy.
Adds to TBR because… If reading a Jasmine Guillory romance poolside with a cocktail in hand is wrong…we don’t want to be right. Here’s to summer book love done right.
Such a Quiet Place by Megan Miranda
July 13, 2021
The Short Story: There was a murder in the neighborhood…and the residents who lived there implicated one of their own: Ruby Fletcher. But the conviction was overturned and now, Ruby’s back.
Adds to TBR because… slow burn is a good thing when you’re talking about a whodunit that will keep you guessing until it’s time to turn the page.
