best books to read on the beach

One of the great beach books in 2017 fiction could be 'The Ministry for the Future' by Kim Stanley Robinson. It combines elements of climate change and future society in an engaging way.

One of the best beach read novels is 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It's set in the Roaring Twenties and tells a story of love, wealth, and the American Dream. The vivid descriptions of parties and the complex characters make it a great choice for relaxing by the beach.

Yes, it probably is. Summer beach romance novels are often light - hearted and perfect for relaxing on the beach. This one might have all the elements like a charming love story, beautiful beach settings, and engaging characters that make it a great beach read.

One great 'fiction beach book' is 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' by Jenny Han. It's a coming - of - age story set in a beachy backdrop with a lot of teen romance and family drama.

Another good one is 'Eat, Pray, Love' by Elizabeth Gilbert. This memoir - style novel takes you on a journey with the author as she travels to Italy, India, and Indonesia. It's inspiring and makes for a great beach read as you can easily dip in and out of her experiences.

Sure. 'Exit West' by Mohsin Hamid is a good one. It's about a young couple facing the challenges of a changing world with the appearance of magical doors. It's a short but powerful read.

Once I went to a beach where there were these amazing tide pools. I explored them and found all sorts of sea creatures like starfish and little crabs. It was like a whole new world in those small pools.

'Key West Tales' is also perfect for a beach read. It contains a collection of short stories that all take place in Key West. Each story gives you a different aspect of life in Key West, whether it's the local festivals, the fishermen's lives or the romances by the shore.

'Summer at Tiffany' by Marjorie Hart. It's based on the author's real - life experience working at Tiffany's during the summer and the love story that blossomed. It has that old - fashioned charm and the allure of New York in the summer.

I'd recommend 'Beach Read' by Emily Henry. Although it's not strictly a holiday romance novel, it has a great summer - like, beachy feel to it and also has a wonderful romance plot. The two main characters, a romance writer and a literary fiction writer, have a great dynamic.
