Sweets: What I Read In July 2024. (2024)

I’m still in the midst of some of my best summer reads! I feel like I lost a week of reading on vacation (hence why this post is so late) – doesn’t seem to make sense unless you know what it’s like to take kids on vacation, haha. But I still got some great ones in. A few favorites of the whole summer!

I shared my giant summer reading list a few months ago – you can find it here.

Let me know what you’re reading below.

Jackpot Summer – 4 stars

This was tied as my favorite read of the month! It was so cute. The story is about four siblings who enter the powerball lottery and they become overnight millionaires. The family drama and dynamics in this story is out of this world – if you have multiple siblings I think it is a must read. The ending is so, so good. Also so interesting about lottery winners and the stereotypes that we’ve always heard of. Such a good summer read!

The Summer Pact – 3 stars

I always love an Emily Giffin read. This story follows four college friends and then tragedy strikes senior year, and they make a pact to always be there for each other. A decade later they are traveling together after one reaches out during a hard time in her life. This felt a little all over the place for me and while I did like it, it was also a little slow at times. It also seemed sort of unrealistic!!

A Novel Summer – 4 stars

Love Jamie Brenner’s books!! I love that they usually take place in Provincetown and this is no different. We follow an author, Shelby, who has hurt her friends in the town with her bestselling book. She is working on her next book and finds herself helping a friend in their (adorable!) bookshop. Here, she ends up righting some of the wrongs. And of course we have love!! Such a great ending and heart warming story. Jamie does Provincetown like Elin does Nantucket!

The Ex Vows – 5 stars

Oh my gosh – LOVED this. From the opening, I was instantly hooked. I love a lifelong romance story. We follow Eli and Georgia who broke up years ago, but now must reunite for the wedding of their best friend. There is drama surrounding the wedding and the two of them have to work together to make the day perfect. I absolutely loved this story. Second chance romances have my heart. I loved this author’s first book too!

One Perfect Couple – 4.5 stars

I needed to throw a thriller in there!! I love Ruth Ware books. The story follows Lyla and Nico who join a reality dating show. They are on a remote island, there is all sorts of drama, storms and they are cut off from the rest of the world. I COULD NOT PUT THIS DOWN!!! Maybe it’s because we’re in the time of reality dating shows but it was so good and I was in such suspense. I couldn’t wait to see what happens next. I loved the twists and even though some of the people are so unlikeable, it’s such a good read. A great summer one!
