Attributes of a "Beach Read"

"There is a category of books known as "Beach Reads," defined as being superficial yet engrossing. Typically, beach reads incorporate at least four of these five attributes:
a. Espionage and/or Illegal Drug Trade;
b. Sex;
c. Famous, Wealthy, (or at least Astonishingly Good-Looking) People;
d. Murder and mayhem;
e. Exotic Locale.
Nowadays, we've noticed, they also often include descriptions of food.
