The only criteria for a Reese’s Book Club selection is that it has to be a book with a woman at the center and is something that “sparks discussions, makes us laugh when we need it most and bond[s] us over something bigger than ourselves,” as says Ms. Witherspoon herself.
This has meant that, over the years, the club has picked everything from historical fiction to political calls to action to serviceable self-help. But amongst the more serious reads, there’s also a ton of easy, fast-paced stories that are just the type of thing you’d want to devour on vacation between sunscreen applications. In other words, when it’s time to load up your Kindle this summer, you might want to turn to RBC. From gripping mysteries to sexy romances, here are the absolute best Reese’s Book Club beach reads, vetted by me, a person who wants nothing more than to be on sunchair reading.
