Travel nursing entails visiting new places and meeting a diverse range of patients and nurses. Reading a good romance novel or memoir while traveling or unwinding after a long shift is a terrific way to pass the time. We’ve compiled a list of our favorite novels to save you time.
1. The One Woman by Laura May
Laura May has written the ideal beach read. Julie manipulates what the eye cannot see as a graphic designer, but her life and her relationship with her lover Mark remain mundane no matter how she looks at it. Until she meets Ann, an accomplished STEM professional. Ann is also stunning and endearing. Julie can’t deny that their unexpected meeting resulted in chemistry. As their history and present intersect once more in Barcelona, the spark is obvious. Julie must choose between her love for Ann and her allegiance to Mark when catastrophe strikes. Is pure love able to survive when the time is off?
2. Book Lovers by Emily Henry
Nora Stephens’ life revolves around books, and she’s not the kind of heroine you’d expect. Nor the brave one, not the dreamy one, and certainly not the sweetheart.
Which is why, when her sister begs her to go to Sunshine Falls, NC, for the month, she accepts, imagining a small town metamorphosis. Nora keeps running into Charlie Lastra, a bookish moody editor from the city. If it weren’t for the fact that they’ve met before and it’s never been cute, it would be a meet-cute.
Nora acknowledges that she isn’t an ideal heroine. Charlie realizes that he isn’t anyone’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again, what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories about themselves they’ve written.
3. The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han
Summers are the measure by which Belly assesses her life. Between the months of June and August, everything good and amazing happens. Winters are merely a place to count down the days until the next summer, a place to get away from the beach home, Susannah, and, most importantly, Jeremiah and Conrad. Belly has known these lads since her first summer, and they’ve been her brother figures, crushes, and everything in between. But, over the course of one summer, one awful and magnificent summer, everything begins to fall into place exactly as it should have been all along.
4. Before I Saw You by Emily Houghton
Alice Gunnersley and Alfie Mack share a bed just a few feet apart. Every day, they converse for hours. And they’ve never met face to face before.
After being in tragic accidents, the two are now long-term residents at St. Francis’s Hospital and share the same ward. Despite the fact that they don’t have the best of the beginning, the close quarters pull them closer together. Alfie believes that he’s finally found a true confidante in Alice, and no one can make her laugh as hard as Alfie can.
However, as their conditions improve and their time draws to a close, Alfie and Alice must determine whether it’s worth continuing a relationship with someone who has seen all of your darkest sides but never your face.
5. Make Up Break Up by Lily Menon
Annika Dev is a romantic who believes in second chances and happy endings. Make Up; her app encourages couples to believe in these things as well.

Hudson is moving into the office next door to Annika’s, and he plans on entering the famous EPIC investment pitch event as well. If Annika wants to keep Make Up afloat, she needs to win this competition.
