Emily Bader is revealing all the books that changed her life — including the one she’s read over a dozen times.
The actress — whose new film “The People We Meet on Vacation” began streaming Friday on Netflix — also shared the book that makes her feel like “home.”
Based off the bestselling romance book by Emily Henry, “The People We Meet on Vacation” follows Poppy (Bader), a travel writer who waits all year for her annual summer trip with her best friend and polar-opposite Alex. After one disastrous summer and two years of silence, Poppy hatches a plan to bring the pair back together for one final vacation.
See below for Bader’s six must-read book recommendations.
“A prophecy, and one of the greatest mysteries I’ve ever read. It made me cry … and laugh.”
“My introduction to Joan Didion, whose voice has stuck with me since my first read. A moving and tragic exploration of grief and love.”
“A childhood favorite that always makes me feel at home when I come back to it. My Grandma took me to see the play when I was young, and it was one of the reasons I fell in love with acting.”
“A beautiful memoir by one of my favorite actresses. I found it powerful how Diane uses her mother’s diary to explore their relationship and to better understand herself. Non-linear and a very effortless read.”
“Elizabeth Bennett is metal. A book that never gets old the more you go back to it. I’ve read probably 12 times.”
“A perfect book to read on a stormy winter day at the beach. Grab a blanket, a hot cup of tea and lock in.”
