50 of Lit Hub's favorite summer novels

We promise this list isn't quite what you think it is.

Literary Hub has pulled together a list that "skews 'literary,'" in its words, of fifty of the best summer novels.

How do they define a summer novel? It can be set in a summer, it can be appealing for summertime reading, or it can just "feel summery."

So in other words, it's a real grab bag — check it out for yourself even if you don't want or need more book recommendations.
