5 sucky summer sitches (from books) we hope don't happen to us

 
Summer is finally here, and that means there’s plenty of time for some much-needed pool action. Sure, it may be fun to re-read The Fault in Our Stars while hanging in the sun for the millionth time, but we’ve got some other stellar summer books for you to try out. It’s always fun to go to on vacations during summer, but what happens when your summer goes from fab to drab? You’ll LOL at these summer bummers.
