Summer time is here, and it can only mean one thing: time for a little bit of rest and relaxation, and plenty of time to finally catch up on some of those books you promised yourself you would read this year. Because you might only have a week or two of that precious time off work to really be able to become hooked to a great novel or two, you definitely don't want me to stuck with a dud! Here are some of our tried and tested favourite summer reads to try in 2019…
Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Telling the rise and fall from grace of the fictional band Daisy Jones and the Six, this novel's realistic characters and portrayal of a band slowly falling apart truly makes you feel that the band, iconic in the novel, really does exist in real life (until you Google Daisy Jones, of course). The unique storytelling is done through 'interviews', and along with the nostalgia of the 1970s, it is a lovely read that you might well devour in one sitting. It is also being developed into a TV series by Reese Witherspoon's production company, so get in there first!
