Oh gosh, I adored The Great Alone. So good! Two more: The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller and Every Summer After by Carley Fortune (I haven't read her other lake stories yet, but I bet they're just as wonderful).
Love this broader definition of a summer read--and the long history of such books! I have so many favorite books that were set in summer. Writers & Lovers begins in summer and is in my mind a summer novel. Lincoln Highway, Let the Great World Spin are summer stories too! Same Time Next Summer also comes to mind, and another by Kingsolver, Prodigal Summer.
Both of Adrienne Brodeur’s novels (Wild Game and Little Monsters) are definitely summer books. And I recall that I read each of them in the summertime, while on vacation - so truly a summer read!
Great list! Thanks! I like historical fiction very much, particularly Regency period London, and recently I have quite a taste for between the World Wars.

Great list; thank you!

My favorite historical time period to read about is the early to mid 1900s. Definitely adding some of these to my TBR!
Wow, what a list!
