Stay Up with Hugo Best
by Erin Somers

Hilarious, poignant, and terrifically propulsive, STAY UP WITH HUGO BEST follows June Bloom, an almost-thirty late-night talk show writers’ assistant. When beloved host (and known womanizer) Hugo Best retires, suddenly June is without a job and must return to the unforgiving comedian lifestyle. Desperate for work, June hesitantly takes Hugo up on an invitation to his Greenwich mansion for the long Memorial Day weekend. As the weekend unfolds and the enigmatic Hugo gradually reveals himself, their dynamic proves to be much more complicated and less predictable than she expected.

The Last House Guest
by Megan Miranda

Every summer for nearly a decade, Avery Greer, Littleport resident, and Sadie Loman, a Littleport summer tourist, are inseparable friends . . . until one year, when Sadie is found dead. Though the death is ruled a suicide, Avery can’t shake the feeling that the community blames her for the mysterious death. As secrets come to light and suspicions against her rise, Avery strives to get to the bottom of this and hopefully clear her name.

The Last House Guest
Megan Miranda

From the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of All the Missing Girls, a suspenseful new novel about an idyllic town in Maine dealing with the suspicious death of one of their own—and her best “summer” friend, who is trying to uncover the truth…before fingers point her way.

Littleport, Maine, has always felt like two separate towns: an ideal vacation enclave for the wealthy, whose summer homes line the coastline; and a simple harbor community for the year-round residents whose livelihoods rely on service to the visitors.

Typically, fierce friendships never develop between a local and a summer girl—but that’s just what happens with visitor Sadie Loman and Littleport resident Avery Greer. Each summer for almost a decade, the girls are inseparable—until Sadie is found dead. While the police rule the death a suicide, Avery can’t help but feel there are those in the community, including a local detective and Sadie’s brother, Parker, who blame her. Someone knows more than they’re saying, and Avery is intent on clearing her name, before the facts get twisted against her.

Another thrilling novel from the bestselling author of All the Missing Girls and The Perfect Stranger, Megan Miranda’s The Last House Guest is a smart, twisty read with a strong female protagonist determined to make her own way in the world.

Sadly, we will not be enjoying a new season of Insecure this summer. Thankfully, we have Issa Rae’s hilarious memoir in essays to read and reread. In THE MISADVENTURES OF AWKWARD BLACK GIRL, Rae waxes humorously on what it’s like to be unabashedly awkward in a world that regards introverts as hapless misfits and black as cool.

The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl
Issa Rae

For fans of “Insecure”

Issa Rae is awkward . . . and black, which is, in the opinion of her peers, a very unfortunate combination. This is made plain in her new TV show “Insecure ” and her New York Times bestseller THE MISADVENTURES OF AWKWARD BLACK GIRL. In this memoir-guide hybrid, Issa humorously illuminates what it’s like to be unabashedly awkward in a world that regards introverts as hapless misfits and black as cool.

The Turn of the Key
by Ruth Ware

We would never recommend you go through the summer without a Ruth Ware book, which is why we’re so excited about THE TURN OF THE KEY, Ware’s fifth novel. In this Black Mirror–esque novel, Rowan takes a job as a live-in nanny. When she arrives at Heatherbrae House, she’s initially smitten with the technologically advanced house, but soon the surveillance makes her feel uneasy. Things take an unexpected turn for the worst when one of the children in her care dies and she ends up in prison. The problem is Rowan is innocent, which could only mean the culprit—the murderer—is still out there.

My Squirrel Days
by Ellie Kemper

As fellow The Office alum and comedian Mindy Kaling says (and we agree): “Ellie is a hilarious and talented writer, although we’ll never know how much of this book the squirrel wrote.” In her collection of essays, Ellie Kemper gives us a behind-the-scenes peek at our favorite shows, like The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and shares hilarious anecdotes, like the time she accidentally fell on Doris Kearns Goodwin. This book that will make you fall over with laughter, so you might not want to read it in the pool.
