4. The Chateau on Sunset by Natasha Lester
Release date: June 2
Read if you liked: Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld
It’s been a while since I lost sleep over a book that was not a mystery—and Natasha Lester’s glamorous retelling of Jane Eyre did it for me. Lester’s novel transports us to the sparkling world of Hollywood and the most famous hotel on the Sunset Strip. Aria Jones has spent her entire life being invisible in the Chateau Marmont. But when a brooding rockstar buys the hotel she calls home, Aria quickly finds that what she thought she wanted is anything but. (Marissa Wu)
Emerald Fennel's [sic] Wuthering Heights is divisive at best, with its radical reinterpretation of Emily Brontë's classic, but no one can deny the sizzling chemistry between its two leads. Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as the ill-fated Catherine and Heathcliff raised eyebrows, as the romance between the two took a steamy, intimate turn, ultimately ending in tragedy for everyone around them.
Wuthering Heights got backlash for turning Cathy and Heathcliff's destructive dynamic into something romantic, and there were concerns about casting all-white characters, particularly Heathcliff, who had been described as a dark-skinned man. Even so, Wuthering Heights had hearts racing, and thankfully, there are several more great steamy romantic titles to choose from to recreate that feeling. (Fawzia Khan)
