glad you agree it’s def best to read it summer! hope you enjoy the book and let me know what you thought of it after!!

If you liked Call Me By Your Name I definitely highly recommend The Boy in the Rain by Stephanie Cowell!!! It’s a love story between a young art student (Robbie) who meets twenty-nine-year-old (Anton) who runs away from his failed marriage and brutal childhood. And within months of them growing closer they begin a love affair that lasts for years. And overtime Robbie grows into an accomplished portraitist in London while Anton becomes a politician with his inherited wealth be connections to improve the conditions for the poor. But to preface that it is set in the Edwardian era were obv being queer was considered a crime. But it’s such a beautiful love story. For a book created by a woman but it’s about two men falling in love, it felt well done and she cared a lot about representing this best way she possible could. But once again beautifully written but a deeply sad book. So I think you should definitely check this out at some point Katerina!

wow the boy in the rain sounds really interesting!! thank you so much for spending the time you explain what the book is about!

I think Hot Milk by Deborah Levy is a perfect summer read! Its a relatively short book, set in Spain with a hazy summery atmosphere...

I read Holes in school in 7th grade 😂 Maybe I should revisit it for the nostalgia 6 years later

i also read it in the 7th grade for the first time 🤣 absolute banger of a book though - still think about it often!

Glad to see two of my favorite books of all time on this list, that is, Call Me By Your Name and The Great Gatsby 💙 Glad too for hearing I’m not the only one who likes 2013 Great Gatsby adaption 😂 Guess Midnight Summer Dream by Shakespeare would be a perfect choice for summer too 🧡

I love The Great Gatsby.... it absolutely feels like the perfect summer read (and I loved the movie adaptation too) I've heard a few people talk about The Housekeeper and the Professor... I have it on my list to pick up one fine day

i love bad luhrmann as a director so i genuinely am a big fan of all his films and thought the great gatsby was really beautifully done! and yay, hope you like it when you get round to reading it!!

Richard doesn’t go on “vacation”, he travels. He discovered early on that travel is the cure to almost any problem. For example, when his girlfriend back home dumps him for some other guy, he borrows money and hopes on a plane to a different country. Once there, not only is the pain of the breakup gone, but he also quickly forgets about the girl.

yes I know lol - I never said he goes on "vacation" when describing the book and did mention about how this talks about this desire for travel and escaping the west

Summer is a joke in the UK😭
