Book blogger Jen Bober’s top 10 books to read this Summer

We recently had the pleasure of interviewing #bookstagrammer and book blogger Jen Bober for the Passion Project podcast. Here Jen shares her top book picks and recommendations for Summer 2021:

Fight Night by Miriam Toews

Jen says: “I am a big fan of Toews’ writing and eager to pick up her latest book which features her classic wit and tribute to a very unusual family.”

All’s Well by Mona Awad

Jen says: “Awad is a fave author of mine. Her latest book follows Miranda, a drama teacher who is feeling old and broken by her chronic pain and is trying to capture her former glory days. When she suddenly meets three mysterious men, suddenly things start to turn in her favour.”

The Siren by Katherine St. John

Jen says: “Hollywood gossip and drama all set on an isolate island. A perfect summer read.”

The Guncle by Steven Rowley

Jen says: “This one just sounds so cute! A once famous gay television star must take in his niece and nephew after tragedy strikes.”

It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey

Jen says: “Dubbed as a Schitts Creek romcom, this book follows the current ‘It’ girl who suddenly is cut off from her family wealth and moves to a small town. Of course, she butts heads with a sexy local who does not think she belongs.”

The River Has Teeth by Erica Waters

Jen says: “Part mystery and part fantasy. Natasha’s sister has gone missing and she is searching for answers. Was nature and the creatures that dwell in the park the reason she disappeared?:

Seven days In June by Tia Williams

Jen says: “Seven days to fall in love, 15 years to forget it and seven days to get it back again. This is a sexy romance book about second chances for love.”

The Atmospherians by Alex McElroy

Jen says: “A disgraced influencer and struggling actor join together to create The Atmosphere, a cult to reform problematic men.”

You Will Remember Me by Hannah Mary McKinnon

Jen says: “A dark and twisted story of a man who wakes up on a beach and cannot remember who he is.”

Firekeepers Daughter by Angeline Boulley

Jen says: “My fave book of the year so far! A Young Adult book that is part mystery, part drama. A wonderful look into Ojibwe culture and some of the issues Indigenous people face.”
