Women Who Travel Book Club: 9 New Books to Dive Into This Summer
If you're in the midst of finalizing your vacation packing list, don't head to the beach or that hideaway Airbnb without tossing an exciting new read into your carry-on. So far, 2025 has proven to be a year with a bounty of great books. Victoria Lomasko's The Last Soviet Artist is a superb entry in graphic reportage. Charmaine Wilkerson returns with her sophomore novel Good Dirt. And Aisha Muharrar takes her screenwriting talents to the small page with her debut novel Loved One, which releases later this August. In this edition of the Women Who Travel book club, our editors are sharing the new books they just can't put down. Whether you choose to escape with another slam dunk from Taylor Jenkins Reid or delve deeper into the thornier sides of friendship, love, and parenthood, we've got you covered. Let us know what you're reading—and which great new books we've criminally missed—on Instagram or Facebook.
Here, nine of our favorite reads to check out yourself this summer.
