I'd vote for fish tale, but as I have yet to actually make it to a gathering, you can take my vote with a grain of salt. I do plan on going this time, but then I plan on going every time, until I look at my calendar and see that nope, again with the scheduling conflict...
The World According to Garp - John Irving
ink exchange by melissa marr
Girl with the Golden Shoes by Colin Channer
The biggest not great book for me recently was Robin McKinley's Dragonhaven. I had such high hopes, I usually love her stuff, but this was awful, I kept reading, thinking, it's going to get better, any minute now... it never did. it has the troika of bad book experiences: unlikable main character, uninteresting/predictable story arc, and a painfully bad narrative style.
I think of anything that's in mass market paperback as a summer read, mostly because I can take it somewhere and I'm not upset if it gets food, or water, or sunblock on it. but actual books I've read in the summer and felt were particularly in tune with the season... The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Michael Tolliver Lives Again, Lucky by Jackie Collins...
I'm giving American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House by Jon Meacham, Ines of My Soul by Isabel Allende, Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain and The Fabric of the Cosmos: space, time and the texture of reality by Brian Greene
