Have you ever been curious about the books that captivate your favorite celebrities, whether they’re diving into a classic masterpiece or can’t resist the latest buzzworthy novel? Welcome to Page-Turners, your go-to source where stars share the reads that inspire them, keep them hooked, and sometimes even awake all night. Be warned: your reading list is about to expand significantly.

Author and influencer Eli Rallo is a notable book enthusiast, with a particular fondness for works penned by influential women.

“Reading is something I absolutely cherish because it offers an unparalleled opportunity to step outside of oneself,” she shared with Page Six.

Rallo, whose recent collection of essays, “Does Anyone Else Feel This Way?,” hit the shelves on Tuesday, extols the virtues of reading by saying, “It allows you to explore any subject, any place, and any type of people, all from the comfort of your home.”

Below are the six books that have significantly impacted Rallo’s life.


Book cover for "Eve's Hollywood" by Eve Babitz with an introduction by Holly Brubach, featuring a black and white image of a woman in a bra and feather boa.

“Babitz is a sensation. She’s totally insane and a creative genius. I love her auto-fiction, her fiction and her nonfiction. I only wish we had more of her words because I’ve raced through everything she’s ever written.”



Cover of Joan Didion's "The White Album" with "Joan Didion" in red and "The White Album" in blue.

“The day Didion died, I sobbed. Not even in a performative way. Honestly, because I think I realized that someone whose words shaped me so much would never write anything again. What we have of hers is all we’ll ever get, and I’m lucky that every time I revisit her work there’s something new to discover.”



Illustration of the book cover for "Free Food for Millionaires" by Min Jin Lee, featuring a person in a top hat, a golden banner, and a New York City skyline with the Statue of Liberty.

“Of course, everyone knows Min Jin Lee for her masterful work on ‘Pachinko,’ but I absolutely raced through ‘Free Food for Millionaires.’ Her character work and exploration of class, race and young adulthood in New York was fascinating, heartbreaking and affirming. I adore her words.”



Book cover for "Does Anyone Else Feel This Way? Essays on Conquering the Quarter-Life Crisis" by Eli Rallo.

“‘Does Anyone Else Feel This Way?’ is my love letter to the chaos, confusion, isolation, heartbreak and anxiety of the unspoken transition to adulthood and the murkiness that accompanies it. Within 12 essays I explore topics like friendship, mental health, the idea of having a ‘purpose,’ social media and our relationship to ourselves.”



Book cover for "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë, with a watercolor illustration of two figures walking through a misty landscape.

“‘Wuthering Heights’ is my favorite book of all time. When I want to reach for a romance… this is what I mean. Deeply layered, revolutionary for its time, sweeping, romantic and dense.”



Book cover for "Make Trouble" by Cecile Richards, a New York Times Bestseller, described as "A blueprint for budding activists."

“Cecile Richards was the former president of Planned Parenthood and her memoir about her career irrevocably altered my life and my understanding of activism and the women’s rights movement. I adore her and her work.”
