The Best Beach Reads Based On Your Zodiac Sign
Aries
As a bold and energetic Aries, you appreciate a little friendly competition. That’s why we suggest Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Hall. The story is based on an amateur baker who gets a spot on a British baking show… and becomes involved in a love triangle. Dessert, opportunity, and love all in one beautiful story! Buy the book.
Taurus
The Guncle by Steven Rowley (author of the wonderful Lily & The Octopus) is about a Gay uncle who becomes the primary guardian of his niece and nephew after a tragic accident. It’s full of heart, forgiveness, and most of all, feel-good vibes that will very likely make your face hurt from smiling so much. As a loyal Taurus, you're sure to find this story equally moving and heart-warming. Buy the book.
Gemini
Geminis, embrace all the charming twists and turns in Twice Shy by Sarah Hogle. The story centers on a romantic daydreamer who inherits a house from her Great-Aunt and vows to make it a fresh chapter in her life. Let’s just say, the house needs some work and there may be a cute & cranky groundskeeper to keep her on her toes! Buy the book.
Cancer
People We Meet On Vacation by Emily Henry is a swoon-worthy rom-com with major When Harry Met Sally vibes. There are two best friends on vacation with a lot of history, chemistry, and pent-up emotion. But more than anything, it’s clear both friends care deeply for each other despite the obstacles, which dependable Cancer signs will surely understand. Buy the book.
Leo
Passionate Leos - this one's for you. Four famous siblings, a huge summer party, and a lot of drama come together in Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid. It’s an unforgettable book that will make you stay at the beach three hours longer than you anticipated because it’s hard to put down (just remember to bring sunscreen!). Buy the book.
Virgo
Virgos are known for being modest and practical, but there’s so much more to them than their desire for perfectionism! That's why they’ll love A Pho Love Story by Loan Le. It’s an understated, sweet plot about two high schoolers who connect when they get paired up for a school project. The problem is: their families are in a major feud, owning competing pho restaurants in the same neighborhood. PS, this book WILL make you hungry! Buy the book.
Libra
Full of charm, sparkle, and romance, we recommend It Had to Be You by Georgia Clark. The story follows a series of interwoven love stories that revolve around a wedding planner. Think: Love Actually meets The Wedding Planner. You in? Buy the book.
Scorpio
For empathetic and intuitive Scorpios, we recommend Happily Ever Afters by Elise Bryant. Described as Jane the Virgin with a touch of To All the Boys I've Loved Before, the story begins when the protagonist gets into a creative writing program and pursues a real-life romance - not just the fictional ones she writes from behind her screen. Buy the book.
Sagittarius
Since Sagittarius signs love a thrill, pick up Verity by Collen Hoover. It’s a MAJOR page-turner that involves a writer, a manuscript, and a story that wasn't meant to be read. While this isn't a traditional beach read, we think the sound of the beach waves will balance out the scary moments! Buy the book.
Capricorn
Ambitious Capricorns will relate to the determined, go-getter main character in Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert. And if you're a fan of the fake relationship storyline - you'll absolutely LOVE this sweet and summery book. Buy the book.
Aquarius
If you’re an Aquarius, you have a rebellious and feisty side and value your independence. It’s why you’ll love It’s Been A Pleasure, Noni Blake - a novel that’s full of self-discovery, pleasure, and joy as a woman in her thirties puts herself at the center of her own plot. Buy the book.
Pisces
Sensitive and emotionally aware Pisces signs will love This Close to Okay by Leesa Cross-Smith. It’s a beautiful story that centers on a therapist who rescues a man from jumping off a bridge. Full of heart and wisdom about human connections - it’s a powerful story that will stay with you long after you finish it. Buy the book.
