If You Like Southern Beach Reads

 

For me, some of the best beach reads are those that take place down South, where it's always warm, there's palm trees, crystal blue waters, and a cold ice tea. It's been a few years since I've updated my list of favorite Southern beach reads, so here's my latest:
