Recs if you like This Summer Will Be Different...

There’s just something about a love interest washing or braiding someone's hair that gets me every single time 🥹

Romance books which just make you feel good while reading them. They have a happy end and good vibes overall. Maybe you enjoy reading them during the summer or when you need a little something to take your mind of things. They don't have very dark topic, though they don't have to be without a little conflict to keep you entertained. Feel free to comment so I can add more recommendations!

Every single Aardvark Book Club book pick since its inception. Updated monthly!

Books about the Maritime Provinces (NB, NS, PEI) written by (mostly) Canadian authors.

Howard Norman is my personal exception because he wrote a book about Parrsboro and lived in Canada.

The book girlies are seeing their favourite characters on screen this year so if you didn’t know or want to be ahead of the game and prep, this list is here. This list includes tv adaptations and movies so if you’re curious make sure to see if it’s streaming or theatre release.

P.s. I’m including books whose adaptations already came out this year so far

Book in hand, toes in sand.

Perfect summer reads

It took me way too long to realize that my favorite romance setting isn't "the beach"—it's specifically cold beach towns. Give me all the foggy harbors, rocky coastlines, seafood shacks, and ferry rides, and characters who need a jacket to walk on the beach.

If you love that cozy Atlantic coast aesthetic, these romances are set everywhere from the Maritime provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island) to the charming seaside towns of New England. Comment to add recs!

The perfect list for when you need that perfect summer beach read!
