We all know Suki Waterhouse for her indie-pop songs that break our hearts and her roles on Netflix (Daisy Jones & The Six, hello fans 💖). But what you may not know is that she loves to read! And her literary choices say a lot about her artistic universe and what fuels her imagination.

Today, I’m sharing two books that Suki has recommended on her social media, and believe me, they perfectly match her sensitive, poetic, and slightly rebellious style.

📖 What Red Was by Rosie Price

This novel is intense, powerful, and very emotional. It speaks of trauma, rebuilding, but also of the strength one finds within oneself when everything falls apart. No wonder Suki was touched by this story: we find that same mix of fragility and resilience in many of her songs.
👉 If you liked Good Looking or To Love, you will surely understand why this book resonates with her so much.

🌞 Alien Daughters Walk Into the Sun by Jackie Wang

Just the title is already a poetry in itself! This collection is a blend of diary, essays, and dreams, written with a strong and slightly surreal female voice. Exactly like Suki: an artist who blurs the boundaries between music, cinema, fashion, and now… literature.
👉 It’s the kind of read that makes you think, dream, and feel less alone.

✨ Why is it important?

The books we read shape our way of seeing the world. And for an artist like Suki, they also influence her lyrics, her visuals, and even her stage attitude. By discovering what she reads, we better understand the depth of her universe and why she exudes such a unique vibe.

💡 Fan tip: What if you started a Suki Waterhouse book club with your friends? Each month, you could read one of her favorites and discuss it. Imagine how cool it would be to pair her songs with her readings!
