Here's a list of 8 books for busy moms who need some time for themselves this summer.
The Dependents (Katharine Dion)
When Genu's wife Maida dies, he buries himself deep in the memories of happy days. However, soon his daughter Dary comes to visit and Gene realizes that his life may not be quite what he imagines.
The Pisces (Melissa Broder)
Love, lust and the merman (yes, you read that right). What could possibly go wrong in this summer romance? This summer read won't let you go.
Motherhood (Sheila Heti)
Don't worry, this isn't a "how to be a good mom" book. The story will take you on a very familiar journey of what it means to be a woman and a mother - only this time it will be presented from a slightly different perspective.
The Great Gatsby (F. Scott Fitzgerald)
If you have already read this eternal classic, you can relive it this summer. There is nothing better than diving into Gatsby's wonderful world of pompous parties and beautiful women.
The Good Son (You-Jeong Jeong)
The book can be a little scary for moms (especially moms of boys). If you decide to read it, don't take it too seriously. The tense thriller is about the mysterious murder of a mother who had a very complicated relationship with her son.
Little Women (Louisa May Alcott)
An eternal classic that will warm you more than the hot summer sun. Spend the summer with Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy. Just in case, take a tissue with you - the book is extremely moving.
The Female Persuasion (Meg Wolitzer)
The story of a shy student whose life changes when he meets an older woman. A great story about love, power and all the good and bad human instincts.
Meghan (Andrew Morton)
We saw the royal wedding. Now we can delve into the study of the new Duchess of Sussex. Everything known about Meghan can be read in this biography.
