As I sit here at Coogee Beach, Sydney, basking in the glorious sunshine that bathes our stunning beaches, I can't help but think of the perfect way to spend these blissful days. The weather, with its clear blue skies and gentle sea breeze, is just right for a day at the beach, complete with a good book in hand. That's where the concept of "beach reads" comes in – those engaging, easy-to-digest novels that are as much a part of summer as sunblock and flip-flops. They're the kind of books that draw you in with their light-hearted narratives and compelling stories, making them a perfect companion to the sound of the waves and the warmth of the sun.
