Style Book Club: The Novels We Can’t Shut Up About ATM
Hot girls read
By Bianca Licina | 26th March 2025Welcome back to the Style Book Club, where we dish on the reads that had us hooked this month. The office has been buzzing with book swaps, passionate reccos, and plenty of “just one more chapter” moments. The sort of novels that make getting up for work the next day quite challenging.
We’ve devoured everything from thought-provoking memoirs to edge-of-your-seat thrillers, making for a reading list as exciting as it is eclectic.
Curious about what’s been keeping us up past bedtime? Check out our latest favourites below!
How to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin – 4/5
A cozy murder mystery with everything your can ask for. An ominous mansion in the countryside. A woman driven mad by fate. And, a town with every reason to hate our lovely murder victim. This novel is paced artfully and keeps you guessing. Perrin writes characters in way that left me desperately wanting to jump and join the cast of evasive suspects.

The Seven by Chris Hammer – 4/5
I like the historical references in this novel and the link between three eras. A thriller that keeps you intrigued. Well worth the read!
– Valentina Trifunov, Senior Account Manager
Elle by Elle Macpherson – 4/5
There was something about this book that kept catching my eye, so I finally decided to pick it up and see what all the fuss was about. In Elle, the Australian supermodel opens up about her incredible journey, leaving for New York at 18 to take on the fashion world, and navigating the highs and lows of living life in the spotlight. Elle shares the tough lessons she’s learned, the struggles she’s faced, and how her fast-paced lifestyle eventually led to addiction and destructive coping mechanisms, often without even realising it at the time. I’m only halfway through, but I’m keen to follow the rest of her journey. As someone who knew little about her beyond the supermodel fame, this book offers an eye-opening look at the woman behind the icon.

Meditation for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman – 4/5
Stories Of Your Life And Others by Ted Chiang – 4.5/5
Not my usual genre, but I devoured this book of thought-provoking short stories in just a few sittings. One of my favourite movies, Arrival, is based on one of the stories in here and it was just as mind-bending as I hoped it would be.
– Natalie McGown, Journalist
The Wedding People by Alison Espach – 4/5
Don’t let the aesthetic cover fool you – this novel is not a light, breezy read but rather a deeply emotional, poignant story of a middle-aged woman rediscovering her identity after her marriage falls apart. An unexpected friendship and a tale of self-discovery, this novel is sad, funny, dark, and hopeful all at once. Absolutely worth picking up!
– Bianca Licina, Digital Writer
The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller – 4/5
Unfiltered and haunting AF. I was so engrossed in this read; love, regret, and family secrets all wrapped into one emotionally gripping (and slightly disturbing) book.
– Tahlia Leathart, Content Producer
The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel – 4.5/5
This book helps you understand how our thoughts and feelings affect your concept and use of money. A great read if you looking to make better financial choices.
