A Girl's Guide to Summer Reading

We all love summer time and now that we do not have to worry about reading five chapters every night for classes we dislike we can actually focus on reading thing that we are actually interested in. There is nothing better than lying on a beach tanning and reading a good book. The only problem is sometimes finding the perfect book is not always easy. Here are few great summer reads for all of us girls out there. P.S. I promise there are no spoilers!!


1. "White Girl Problems" by Babe Walker

The most appropriate book for this list. It is a laugh out loud funny book. Each chapter explores a new "problem" and tells you how the main character, Babe Walker, finds herself in her current situation, also known as rehab. If you like humorous books than this is the one for you. And if you realize you can't get enough do not worry because there are two sequels.


2. "Psychos" by Babe Walker

In this follow up to "White Girl Problems," Babe Walker travels the world to try and discover who she is. It is just as funny as the first book and you may even find a piece of yourself in the book. If you do not believe me it says right there on the cover that Ashley Benson did.

3. "American Babe: A White Girl Problems Book" by Babe Walker

The newest addition is "American Babe" which puts Babe Walker into Middle America, an unknown place to her. Equally funny as its counterparts, you will not want to put it down. It is the perfect light summer reading to give you a break from all those intense, serious textbooks you have to read during the school year. Sophia Bush, AKA Brooke Davis, thinks so too!

4. "Nice Is Just A Place In France" by The Betches

This book takes you through all your troubles and adds a hilarious twist to them. You will not want to admit it, but it has some truth to it. The only thing is you have to not take it too seriously. The Betches are hilarious and will teach you everything you need to know.

5. "I Had A Nice Time and Other Lies... " by The Betches

This is a follow up to "Nice Is Just A Place In France." You are going to find that same truth factor but will not want to admit it and it is guaranteed to keep you laughing. The Betches give you a "guide" to dating in this world of ours. And just like its first installment, try not to take it too seriously.

6. "Yes Please" by Amy Poehler

You would think reading about someone's life would be boring, but it is written by Amy Poehler so there it is anything but boring. In her book "Yes Please" she takes you on a journey through her life. The best part about the book is she gives you life advice in a way humorous way that makes you want to take it.

7. "#GIRLBOSS" by Sophie Amoruso

The founder and CEO of Nasty Girl brings you "#GIRLBOSS." She tells you how she went from rags-to-riches in her book as well as giving you her fashion tips and how to become your own #girlboss. It really is an inspiring story that will leave you motivated and ready to conquer the world (or college).

Summer reading should be easy, light, and fun. With any of these books you are guaranteed to be left feeling empowered. They are the perfect beach reads and will give you a fresh take on the world. Happy reading!! XOXO

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
