2025 is already half over now, but we at THP have no intention of slowing down! We might even make it a tradition to start a seasonal book releases roundup. If you’re in the middle of a reading slump, then we think these YA novels are the perfect fit for you!
Now, you’re probably wondering which books are on our summer reading roundup. These three summer book releases range from a YA rom-com to a YA dystopian romance. (We told y’all we were entering our dystopian era!)

Always Be My Bibi By Priyanka Taslim
Our first summer book release is Priyanka Taslim’s new rom-com, Always Be My Bibi! Bibi Hossain is spending her summer working at her dad’s fried chicken shop, away from any and all boys. When her older sister Halima announces her engagement to the heir of a tea garden estate in Bangladesh, the family jets off to the motherland to prepare for the wedding. But the Rahman family is a nightmare, especially the groom’s grumpy younger brother Sohel. Bibi reluctantly teams up with Sohel to break up their betrothed siblings. Bibi and Sohel grow ever closer, only there are countless reasons why they shouldn’t be together.
Release date: June 10

This Book Might Be About Zinnia By Brittney Morris
If you’re looking for a deeply moving YA novel with a touch of nostalgia, we recommend Brittney Morris’s This Book Might Be About Zinnia! It’s told in two different timelines and two alternating perspectives between mother and daughter. Nineteen-year-old Tuesday copes with giving up her baby and finding a place for herself after high school in 2006. Sixteen-year-old Zinnia searches for her biological mother after reading a new book that eerily resembles her own life in 2025. Can they find their way back to each other? Or is it too late to reconnect?
Release date: July 1

Everything changes for eighteen-year-old Sivon after she reports to the government to learn about her past. Her new soul identity and job position come with an infuriating bodyguard, someone she cannot fall in love with. With a target on her back, Sivon must learn who to trust, survive several attempts on her life, and even fight against her destiny.
