I just finished some heavy things and was also thinking it's time to go light. I'm envious of you having a go-to. King is perfect for that for all the reasons you say, but I haven't found mine. It does strike me that January's got some Danielle Steel, though. I devoured those in my tween summers because they were basically the only books in the house I hadn't read.
A few years ago, I watched a movie called Breath. It's a movie about a point in time — being a teenager in the 70s — in a place in time — Western Australia. The teen boys develop a bit of an obsession with an older surfer who teaches them to surf, read, face fears. I liked the movie, read more about it, learned it was a book, and TBRed it. Which is where I turn where I don't know where to go next. I saw Breath there again just now and decided that's probably a good end of summer read. I just learned the author, Tim Winton, is a "Living Treasure" in Australia and has published 20 books. Not bad. Maybe not go-to status, but perhaps at least more to dig into here.
