Exit Lane by Erika Veurink is a quick novella that reads like When Harry Met Sally and Normal People. A perfect beach choice. Amazon: “After a postgraduation drive from Iowa City to NYC, Teddy and Marin have both had enough of each other to last the rest of their lives. But that doesn’t stop their paths from crossing over eight rocky years, punctuated by chance encounters and transatlantic visits, on a journey that eventually brings them right back to where it all started.” I thoroughly enjoyed this and you can accomplish it in a day.
