easy read
Light, breezy novel
An easy read is something that can be read quickly and without much effort—a book, article, or document designed for accessibility rather than challenge.
The term often describes light entertainment: Beach vacations call for an easy read.
It also refers to simplified texts for people with learning difficulties or limited literacy, using short sentences, simple vocabulary, and clear formatting.
