From shaking out sand stuck between pages to dripping salty water onto spines, there’s nothing quite like a beach read. With a few weeks left of summer to cram in a beach trip or sit poolside, we asked team Zando to share their go-to beach reads. We love the sun-drenched world and complicated friendship in Elena Ferrante’s MY BRILLIANT FRIEND, the thrilling and nuanced mystery in Alyssa Cole’s WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING, the Southern California experience in Nell Zink’s AVALON, and much more. Check out our stories to see what our team had to say about their favorites. #beachreads
