There are race books, and there are beach reads, and never the twain shall meet. You know that old truism, right? Well, this is Code Switch (the show about race and identity and romance and drama from NPR), and we weren’t willing to accept that dichotomy. So on this episode, we’re bringing you a bouquet of our favorite summer thrillers, love stories, memoirs and more — all of which have something to say about race.

Featured on this episode:

    • For those dreaming of a sultry summer fling: After Hours on Milagro Street, a romance set in small-town Kansas that mixes Mexican American history with a lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers whirlwind.
    • For those looking for the space and time to find themselves: Hijab Butch Blues, a memoir that lets you get lost in the world of a young queer Muslim immigrant trying to find herself in New York City.
    • For those harboring an incandescent rage in need of a fun outlet: I’m Not Done With You Yet, a thriller about a few young women being selfish and reckless and dramatic.
    • For those with little ones in their lives: Alma and How She Got Her Name, a rich, immersive picture book that will transport adults and children alike across generations and geographies.
    • For people looking for a more “intellectual” summer read: The Late Americans, a drama about youth and race and class and art and love and loss and friendship.
