The Complete List of Dua Lipa's Book Club Picks

"It’s a crime novel, but much more than a mere whodunnit... Darkly humorous, deadly serious, and with a quirky cast of characters that will stay with you forever, this is definitely not to be missed. The author won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and when you read this novel you’ll see why." - DL

"This beautiful book had me hooked right at the title... Vuong’s poetic language dances on every page... As much as it is a commentary on the dark side of the American Dream, it is also a tender testament to the unbreakable love between a mother and son." - DL

"I loved this unique, bold and compassionate book... a story of one of the most famous men in history – President Abraham Lincoln – grieving for his dead son... narrated by a cacophony of monologuing, bickering ghosts... There is no one writing today who can match George Saunders for compassion and empathy." - DL

"I got actual chills when I read the opening scenes... Alana S. Portero’s vivid portrait of a young Trans girl growing up in 1980s Madrid had me hooked from the very first page... It’s a study on identity, love and acceptance... This is a book to savour. Enjoy every word" - DL

"Like many people my age, I was partly raised by Malorie Blackman. She creates worlds you want to carry with you and each story encourages its young readers to ask the important questions in life. Noughts & Crosses is my absolute favourite of her books... It’s pacey, romantic, tortured and enlightening." - DL

"Keefe. Say Nothing is a masterclass in the art of the ‘non-fiction novel’. It has all the elements of great fiction – mesmerising characters, intrigue and plot twists. And it also happens to be true...Keefe exposes the deep tensions between Catholics and Protestants, paramilitaries and the British armed forces that led to the conflict. This is a big book in every sense of the word, about a terrible and tragic war in the United Kingdom that many people today are too young to even remember. I guarantee you will be hooked from beginning to end." -DL

"It’s a beautiful coming-of-age love story set against the brutal political backdrop of Communist Poland in the 1980s...It’s poetic and tender, burning with a quiet rage at the persecution the LGBTQ+ community in Poland has suffered for decades and continues to fight against today. It’s a beautiful story – I hope you love it as much as I do" -DL

"Some of you may already know Michelle as the uber-cool singer and guitarist of the American cult indie band Japanese Breakfast. With this book, she also proves herself to be a first-class memoirist, writing with raw honesty about her difficult teenage relationship with her mother and the grief that follows her mother’s death from cancer." -DL

"Set in New York City in the 1920s and ’30s, the story of a Manhattan financier and his high society wife is told through four ‘books’ – a novel, a manuscript, a memoir and a journal. But which version should you trust? Is there even one true reality?...While each reader will draw their own conclusion when they reach the end of this complex and thrilling book, what is never disputed is the ease with which money and power can bend reality itself." -DL

"With Khaled Hosseini’s great gift for storytelling, this book soars on many levels. It’s an illuminating story of the cultural and political history of Afghanistan, rich with the textures of daily life. What stood out for me as much as the oppression it details is that this story is infused with love – between fractured families, teenage lovers, and the heroic characters of Mariam and Laila, whose friendship resonated with me so deeply." -DL
