‘The Alice Network’ by Kate Quinn
The Alice Network follows the lives of two women 30 years apart. In 1915, we follow Eve Gardiner as she longs to fight in the war against the Germans and finds herself working as a spy. Then in 1947, Charlie St. Clair is on the verge of being thrown out of her very proper family due to being unmarried and pregnant. Her banishment to France leads to her heading out on a journey to find out what happened to her cousin, Rose, who disappeared during World War II.
Quinn has the ability to mix fiction and fact into all of her novels. Both Eve and Charlie are female protagonists that you want to see achieve their goals, but there are some wild twists thrown their way as they do it.

‘This Is How It Always Is’ by Laurie Frankel
The modern-day story is one of Claude, a five-year-old who knows one thing. He wants to be a girl when he grows up. After all, he loves to wear dresses and play princesses, and his parents are on board with allowing him to be whatever he wants. They just don’t want the secret coming out when he’s only five.
There’s a deepness to Claude’s parents’ story, as they navigate this unknown. Parenting doesn’t come with a manual, and not everyone goes through the exact same thing with their children. This is one of those books that you can probably read before being a parent and after you become one to see a completely different viewpoint, making it a powerful release.
‘Daisy Jones and The Six’ by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Daisy Jones and The Six focuses on a band that had one hit night that ended up being their last. They broke up for unknown reasons, and they’ve never spoken about it since. However, they decide that it’s time to tell their story, from how Daisy Jones joined The Six to why they then ended up disappearing from the limelight forever.
Jones captures the heart of the ‘60s throughout her novel, and she brings a rawness to the pain that each character feels. She does an excellent job in developing a story that feels very much like all the bands of the past without being a complete copy and paste.
‘The Henna Artist’ by Alka Joshi
17-year-old Lakshmi manages to escape an abusive marriage, and she heads to the city of Jaipur to start her new life. What a life she manages, as well, becoming the most highly requested henna artist in the city. She works with the wealthiest women in the upper class, where she has also gained their confidence.
There is an element of Mean Girls mixed into this story, as Lakshmi needs to deal with the problematic world of gossip and social vipers. There’s also a little bit of Pretty Little Liars, as secrets are revealed when this teen’s husband turns back up to change her life completely.
‘The Guest List’ by Lucy Foley
The Guest List brings multiple people to an island off the coast of Ireland. They’re all guests at a wedding, and most of them know each other. However, secrets start to come out, and soon enough, there’s a dead body and a plan that seems to be going off the rails.
This is a story that’s told from multiple viewpoints, and there are twists that you will not see coming. Just as you think you’ve figured out who the murderer is, you’re thrown for another loop. The question becomes whether anyone will get off the island alive.

‘The Club’ by Ellery Lloyd
It all starts with The Home Group, a glamorous collection of celebrity members’ clubs all over the world. Everyone who is anyone wants to get in, and the most luxurious of them all is the Island Home just off the English coast. While all looks peaceful from the outside, behind closed doors the Home Group’s CEO and his team have been pushed to their limits, and soon, ugly secrets are exposed.
The Club offers multiple POVs, drawing you further and deeper into the story. While being a thriller, there are also light-hearted moments as you roll your eyes at the rich and famous. Put in the locked-room vibe and there’s an Agatha Christie element if she wrote in the current day.

‘The House of Eve’ by Sadeqa Johnson
It’s 1950s America, and 15-year-old Ruby Pearsall is on track to become the first in her family to go to college. That is until the Philadelphia teen finds herself pregnant and at a loss of what to do. Meanwhile, in Washington D.C., Eleanor Quarles has married into a rich Black family, and she doesn’t feel like she can fit in at all. Surely having a baby will help, but that seems easier said than done.
This list isn't to say none of the other books on Reece's Book Club are worth reading. You may even find that some of them didn't sit with you the way they did for me. However, when you need a place to start, these seven books are worth it.
