the vegetarian by han kang! super interesting (and short! around 200 pages) story about mental health, going against the grain, ethics and art and taking advantage of the vulnerable... despite how short the book itself was, the actual reading experience was beautifully long for me because it gave me so much to think about!!

For some reason I find Greek mythology books very summery so I’d say ‘Circe’ would be a good pick (not because I’m currently reading it obviously🫢). Also ‘call me by your name’ gives very summery vibes (the fact that it all happens in a summer may be the explanation ahahah)

An amazing philosophical book I would recommend is "Sophie's World". It's non fiction and fiction combined, it's about Sophie who one day gets a letter with the question "Who are you?" and shortly after another with "What is the meaning of life". She gets more and more letters explaining Philosophy, which are really interesting and informative , while in her real life weird things that make no sense start to happen.

If you like the Villainess turns the Hourglass, you might also like This Scum Villain's Self-Saving System. It's Chinese fantasy and currently being published in an official English translation. The main character is a fervent reader of an online novel that ends badly and he's so angry about it that he chokes on his food and dies. His soul gets transported into the novel as the villain. He then has to survive while not appearing ooc (out of character) by sucking up to the person who is going to kill him in the future. It's completely ridiculous and has the most unexpected but somehow logical plot twists.

Okay, I'll admit that I do not quite get what the hot girl summer thing is???? But anyway, it may be worth looking into Follow Me To Ground by Sue Rainsford which is about these healers who are father and daughter who may be human and may not be, caring for a town with strange remedies. The way they look at the world is a little different, and they call people around them cures, and they live maybe not forever but a significantly longer lifespan. It's weird, may be a good book to look at if you enjoyed the vibe of Mexican Gothic (which could be a hot girl book too, I don't think summer necessarily but all the same) and the weirdness of Bunny.

The Villainess turns the Hourglass, Aria isn't really unhinged, it's actually the "good girl" character that's unhinged if we're being critical. Aria is more of an anti-hero. And I agree that the plot is not that heavy but the it's so much fun to read, especially seeing how her step sister reacts when Aria reverses the situation.
