Esquire's Big Annual Summer Reading List for 2025 has arrived, enticing readers with recommendations from independent bookstore experts. The list caters to diverse reading preferences, perfect for beach ventures, hammock lounging, or cozy sofa moments. Notable featured books include Chris Pavone's 'The Doorman,' which intricately explores the lives of tenants and staff within an upscale Manhattan apartment, offering layers of suspense akin to earlier works of Pavone. Jess Walter's 'So Far Gone' addresses societal divisions, delivering a timely narrative that resonates with contemporary readers, showcasing the diversity and depth of this summer's offerings.
Behind a modest, unassuming title, Pavone has hidden another stimulating thriller of the same octane as his previous works, including The Expats and Two Nights in Lisbon.
A book for our times. Walter captures the divisions in our society with a nuanced narrative that reflects contemporary tensions while remaining engaging and accessible.
