It's very difficult to come up with another famous actress who this might be about.
I'm sure.
But what I really find interesting about that trend for famous people having book clubs now is it's this kind of transactional relationship, I think.
And actually, Rachel Cusk writes about this really well in this book.
I've read the book.
I actually just read it this week.
Yeah, I was really lucky.
It's really fantastic, let me just say.
Is it a good book?
Absolutely.
It's fantastic.
But she sends up this whole situation.
Rachel Cusk has taken part in one of those Chanel salons where she had Naomi Campbell, she had this ambassador for Chanel, she had herself and a journalist who were all discussing her work in this bookshop.
And
You know, a lot of the time I think with people like Dua Lipa, obviously they are interested in books and they love books, but it's this really easy way of sort of borrowing what Rachel Cust describes as borrowing the integrity of the writer and adding depth to, you know, to different areas like pop stardom or fashion.
Yeah, and I think being friends with a writer doesn't come without risks.
For me, the way I look at this relationship is like, if you're going to be friends with a celebrity... Did your friends at Adele Coffee say that?
Probably.
It's like being friends with a despotic monarch.
You know, if you're not nice to them, they'll chop your head off.
