Best Beach Reads for Summer 2022 There's Nothing Better Than Picking Out A Book to Escape Into
Summertime, and the livin’ is easy, right? Well, maybe in days gone by, but there’s very little “easy livin’” in the Summer of ’22. Those who are lucky enough to get some time off work often spend several days just trying to decompress and struggle to turn down the noise and tune out the cacophony of discontent. We are the first humans in history to be bombarded by a 24/seven, 365 days a year cycle of information coming at us from all directions, leaning in from all directions—confusing, confounding, aggravating, bombastic, titillating, funny, heart-tugging, and tragic.
