The mother-daughter tale is a smart and funny narrative that will leave you spellbound.

When she's not being a badass on Scandal, Kerry Washington is enjoying some self-care and reading The Perfect Mother by Aimee Molloy. Out May 1, the novel is a gripping read about a group of pregnant women in NYC who hit the town for a moms' night out. The evening takes a harrowing turn when one of their babies is kidnapped. Washington purchased the rights to the book, so reading it now ensures you'll be ready if it hits the big screen.

Sharon Stone is catching some rays and reading up on Educated by Tara Westover. It's a coming-of-age memoir about a young girl who leaves her survivalist family in Idaho for an education at Cambridge University.

We're big fans of Reese Witherspoon's book club, so we know her book recommendations are always spot-on. For April, the actress is going in on Happiness by Heather Harpham. The memoir centers on Harpham's baby daughter's dangerous illness, and the author's struggle in learning how to cope. It's a powerful, heart-wrenching story that will teach you to find happiness with the cards you're dealt.

Sarah Michelle Gellar's Spring read has been generating a lot of buzz already. Other People's Houses by Abbi Waxman takes a look at four families, their carpool, and an affair that rocks the neighborhood. It will make you think twice about what's going on in your neighbor's house.

Emma Watson also has an awesome book club called Our Shared Shelf, and the March/April pick is a memoir that will open your eyes. Heart Berries by Terese Marie Mailhot chronicles the author's experience in a mental institution, where she committed herself after a diagnosis of post traumatic stress disorder and bipolar II disorder. It's eye-opening and intense, but Mailhot's deep prose can't be missed.

Sarah Jessica Parker has given us some amazing book recs for the Spring, including The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin, Pachinko by Min Jin Lee, Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Macado, and Asymmetry by Lisa Halliday. All of these make amazing reads for our Summer getaways.

We're pretty obsessed with Kristen Bell, so when she tells us to go read a book, we do it. Enlightenment Now by Steven Pinker has already been dubbed "my new favorite book of all time" by Bill Gates thanks to its teachings. Put simply, the book urges readers to step away from the disturbing news headlines, and instead look to humanism, reason, and science to seek enlightenment. If you're looking to feel a renewed sense of hope, this book is for you.

Kate Hudson makes the case that while her jaw-dropping red bikini is this season's hottest accessory, a good book comes in a close second. The pregnant starlet is diving into A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles, a novel set in 1922 following the life of Count Alexander Rostov, a man who is ordered to spend the rest of his life inside a hotel. It's soon to be a television series starring Kenneth Branagh, so you'll get major bonus points for reading it ahead of time.

We worship Uzo Aduba, and if she's calling Speak No Evil by Uzodinma Iweala "a dope book," we know we can trust her. This followup book from the author of Beasts of No Nation has been getting a ton of love. It is both a coming-of-age story and a coming out story about two teenagers from very different backgrounds. It's an impactful book that is a truly important, and a profound read everyone should pick up.
