Off to Ibiza for a week this summer.

Can anyone recommend any good summer reads?

Try The Hideaway by Sheila O'Flanagan, set in Spain, well written and good storyline

Ooohhh a thousand splendid suns is the best read ever. Also just enjoyed the man I think I know on my last holiday

If you like crime with a dash of romance, JD Robb is great, and in the same vein SR Garrae. Both really easy to read on the beach.

Anything by Liane Moriarty ( she wrote Big Little Lies which became a tv show but all her books are good. Easy to read, family dramas about marriages, children, etc but with hidden depths.

For very light (but delightful) chick lit, try Jenny Colgan, the Muir island series especially.

Thousand splendid suns by khaled hosseini is my favourite read of the last few years.

When I went to Ibiza, I read "Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood and the Prison of Belief" by Lawrence Wright and I couldn't put it down. It was soooo interesting!

The Girlfriend- Michelle Francis

Try The School Run by Helen Whitaker. Funny, heartwarming and breezy.
