me trying to cope with 35 C°
Let me know if you think sweetbitter song would fit. I was thinking about adding it
ooh ! i hadnât even considered that. based on what you listed, iâd say so (so far at least). thinking about it now, it does kinda feel like a warm weather type of book, but that might just be me.

I mean itâs gay so let me just put it on the list to satisfy the audience (Iâm the audience)
hot milk by deborah levy would be perfect for this list, itâs THE BOOK i think of when i think of summer heat
also the guest by emma cline! i always tell people to read it in the heat by the pool
Song of Achilles! The summer heat vibes have stuck with me forever.
love this list. The Hole by Hiroko Oyamada and The Stranger by Albert Camus are perfect for this!
