Emily @ Books & Cleverness says
There are so many books on here I want to read. I’ve been meaning to read The Summer of Firsts and Lasts for years…From What I Remember and Open Road Summer looks amazing too! Great picks!
Amber says
I’m so happy I have a copy of Open Road Summer. I’m going to dive into it ASAP!
Rachel says
This is such a summery, contemporary list! If I’m stuck for ideas I’m going to bookmark this!

Amber says
Summer is the perfect time for contemporary books 😀
Siiri says
Summer is the time of allllll contemporaries 😀 Whoop! Broken Hearts, Fences, and Other Things to Mend, from what I’ve heard, is amazeballs. So is The Sky is Everywhere and Twenty Boy Summer, supposedly. Oh! I started SYBG last night and it’s on my list today as well:) Heh. And yayyy!!! We’re twinsies! can’t wait to read Open Road Summer. Will hopefully be epic 🙂 Love this list, Amber!
Amber says
I agree 😀 I’m nervous to start The Sky Is Everywhere. I think it’s going to break me. Your SYBG news isn’t so exciting now that I know you weren’t loving it.
Audris @ YA Bookmake says
Open Road Summer and Since You’ve Been Gone are both on my list and I need to finally get to Twenty Boy Summer and The Sky is Everywhere. They’ve been on my shelves forever. Great list and I love the graphics!
Amber says
Thanks, Audris! ORS and SYBG are MUST READS for me this month (or next, since the month is almost over).
Natalie Crown says
Contemporary books just don’t seem to draw my eye…I’m not sure why, because I usually enjoy them if I do read them.
I guess there are just too many badass fantasy books out there that absorb all my time.
I HAVE just grabbed Eleanor and Park though. If I’m going to be seeing Rainbow Rowell at Comic Con, I should really read something of hers. I have literally no idea what to expect. Really hope I like it :/
And this has been me writing a comment that has nothing to do with your post. Goodbye.
Amber says
Your comments are perfect, come back!
I loooove a good contemporary, and I often go through phases where they are all I read. I’m often too scared to start a new fantasy series (BECAUSE THEY KEEP BREAKING MY HEART) so contemporary is where I play it safe XD
Fangirl is much better than Eleanor & Park imo, but you might like it anyway. FANGIRL THOUGH.
Lisa is Busy Nerding says
OH MY HEART with The Sky is Everywhere. PREPARE YOURSELF.
And then follow up with Open Road Summer to soothe your soul.
Such good books!
Amber says
I’M SO NERVOUS TO START TSIE!
Holly U says
Since You’ve Been Gone and Open Road Summer are also on my summer to-read list. They are quite popular this week on TTT. I hope you get the chance to read all of these books this summer! 🙂
Amber says
I’m so excited to read SYBG because MORGAN MATSON IS A GODDESS.
Kim @ kimberlyfaye reads says
Open Road Summer and Meant to Be are the only two I’ve read from your list. Open Road Summer was amazeballs. I liked Meant to Be, too. I still need to get around to Since You’ve Been Gone and The Museum of Intangible Things. Hopefully sooner rather than later!
My TTT.
Amber says
I’m rather nervous about starting ORS because everyone loves it. What if I don’t?! Since You’ve Been Gone is going to be epic, I know it.
Melody says
I essentially want to read all of these too! Especially THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE.
Nara says
So many summery reads! A lot of the books there are ones I want to read too- like Since You’ve Been Gone and Open Road Summer. The Sky is Everywhere is really good! Also if you have the UK/Aus edition, the book is SO pretty. There are all these poems and things in colour, and the font is blue and there’s this elastic thing that you can use to close the book and gahhhh so awesome
Mel@thedailyprophecy says
Since you’ve been gone, meant to be, Open road summer, the museum of intangible things (love the cover from this book!) are contemporaries on my radar. Happy reading 😀
SnugglingontheSofa says
Open Road Summer is AHMAZING. Im also going to be reading the Morgan Matson. Lots of amazing summery books on your list!
Laura Plus Books says
Can I just say that I love the way you make the book covers into circles. It just looks so extremely awesome! If I were to choose a few, your last 3 would definitely be on my list as well. Happy reading!
Laura Ashlee (Owl Tell You About It) says
Twenty Boy Summer has been on my TBR list for SO LONG. I need to finally take the time to read it. Great list!
