There’s been a lot of anticipation for Bennet’s latest book, and The Vanishing Half is now a New York Times Best Seller.

The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren & Sparkling Rosé
The Unhoneymooners was last year’s hot romantic comedy about two sworn enemies who end up in Hawaii together when the rest of the wedding party gets food poisoning. This delightful book goes well with an equally fun and celebratory wine – sparkling rosé.3. I’ll be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara & Albariño
True crime lovers, buckle up. If your idea of a fun beach read is a haunting tale about the darkest parts of the human psyche, you’ve got to check out I’ll be Gone in the Dark, an account of one woman’s obsessive hunt for the man known as the Golden State Killer. Enjoy this beautifully written book with Albariño a crisp light-bodied white wine. It helps you avoid getting sucked too deep into this string of horrific crimes.4. Party of Two by Jasmine Guillory & Syrah
From acclaimed rom-com norvelist Jasmine Guillory comes Party of Two, a modern romance about Olivia Monroe – a woman who moves to LA to start her own law firm and gets involved with a gorgeous man who turns out to be a senator. Twists and turns, clandestine dates, and passionate romance pair well with Syrah, a deep dark red wine with notes of black plum, pepper, and chocolate.

Emily Henry’s smart and original novel Beach Read is basically the ultimate beach read. It centers on a romance novelist who stops believing in love, but then meets another writer who happens to live just a few houses away from her summer beach house. Quick and satisfying, this fresh book pairs well with the quintessential white wine for summer, ripe and fruity Chardonnay.
