Growing up I was the absolute definition of a book worm. I specifically remember having to read 25 books for the year for English class, and instead I read 150. As an adult, I read nowhere near as much as I used to. However, if you catch me on the plane or at the beach, I’ll absolutely have a book in hand. This is why I’m so incredibly excited to partner with Harper Collins to share a few of the best summer books to read in 2021!
