Hey, I’m Sara, one of the owners here at Book Series Recaps and I’ve had several teens and parents ask which are my favorite summertime romance reads for teens, tweens, and young adults. There’s nothing like finding the perfect swoony YA summer romance books to read as you laze away the warm summer days. Here’s a list I came up with of some of our favorite summertime teen romance novels. Some are set at the beach, some at the lake, and some are on family vacation. Find your next summer vacation book boyfriend here!
I compiled this list of YA summer romance books by asking friends, Book Series Recaps readers, and librarians, and I’ve read several of them myself! Happy reading!
