Dua Lipa shared with Service95 the 5 books she’s read and reading next this summer. Check them out:

1. My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante – “I cannot get enough of this book, it’s the ideal summer read as it’s so sun-kissed! If you’ve already read it, there are three more in the series to dive into.”

2. Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie – “This has been on my TBR pile for a while and I can’t wait to have time to read it this summer.”

3. Fearless & Free by Josephine Baker – “Formed from conversations over 20 years with French journalist Marcel Sauvage, this memoir has just been published in English for the first time.”

4. This House Of Grief by Helen Garner – “It wouldn’t be my book pile without at least one harrowing story. A nonfiction account of a case that follows an accused father driving his car into a dam with his three sons in the back. I couldn’t put it down.”

5. Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange – “Tommy sent me a signed copy of this after my Service95 Book Club interview with him about his novel There There. This is the prequel and the sequel, and I can’t wait to dive in.”

Dua Lipa‘s July pick for her Service95 book club is ‘Small Boat‘ by Vincent Delecroix. The short novel fictionalises the events around the real-life drowning of 27 people in the English Channel in November 2021. Those who lost their lives – always referred to as ‘migrants’ in the press – were crowded into a sinking inflatable dinghy and made increasingly desperate calls for help – in French, in English, and in Kurdish. But no help came. Dua said: “This book challenged me profoundly. It moved me, and stayed with me. It’s not an easy read – but as our politics descend into hate-mongering and point-scoring, it’s an essential story that needs to be told.”
