Park Avenue Summer by Renée Rosen (out now)
If a retro summer romp in New York City sounds like exactly your brand of beach reading, look no further than Renée Rosen’s Park Avenue Summer. The book follows Alice Weiss, a young small-town woman from the Midwest who lands a job working for Cosmopolitan‘s first female editor, Helen Gurley Brown. It’s “‘Mad Men meets The Devil Wears Prada,’ which might as well be saying ‘put me in your cart immediately,’” writes PopSugar.
