Who better to recommend new books than the authors we already love? This month as we celebrate Rebecca Serle’s latest novel, Once and Again, we got the chance to catch up with her about what’s on her shelf. From the book she’s currently reading to ones she’s always recommending, we got the dish about her favorite reads—and watches.
She Reads: What are you currently reading?
Rebecca Serle: I’m reading an advanced copy of The Shampoo Effect by Jenny Jackson. I’m loving it. My husband had to tell me to go to sleep the other night because I wouldn’t stop reading.
I always recommend The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. by Adelle Waldman. It’s a master class in character study.
I also loved Yellowface, and recently I’ve been recommending I See You Called in Dead. It’s a beautiful, funny meditation on what it means to live and die.
And I can’t wait for my dear friend Chloe Benjamin’s new book, Understory. She’s been working on it for years, and I’m so excited to read it.
She Reads: What are you watching?
Rebecca Serle: Shrinking is my favorite show on TV right now. I also love Tell Me Lies and, admittedly, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
And of course, make sure to check out Rebecca’s latest novel (and all the rest of her bestsellers that are headed to the screen soon).
Once and Again by Rebecca Serle
The women of the Novak family are each born with a one-time ability to turn back time, a gift Lauren has long understood after her mother used it to save her father’s life. Now back in Malibu for the summer, living with her cautious mother and free-spirited grandmother, Lauren finds herself confronting the past especially when her first love reenters her life. In a story about the life you choose and the one you wonder about, Once and Again delivers Serle’s trademark touch of magic and heart.
