Model Jena Sims has learned how to balance her love of reading with motherhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cReading has always been a big part of my life, but now with an active 2-year-old, I am more intentional with when and what I read,\u201d the \u201cHappy Gilmore 2\u201d<\/a> actress tells Page Six. <\/p>\n

She adds that her best reading time normally occurs now during her son\u2019s naps or while jetting off to a new destination. <\/p>\n

When it comes to picking her next book, the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Rookie of the Year says she leans on friends and family for recommendations \u2014 as well as revisiting some of her favorites.<\/p>\n

See below for Sims\u2019 six must-read book recommendations. <\/p>\n

\""Good<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought this book was incredibly clever and relatable with regards to how we perceive ourselves in relationships. The way that Dolly wrote from both the male and female points of view on a breakup was genius. The ending came as a complete surprise to me, but I absolutely loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\""The<\/p>\n

\u201cA story about love, ambition and fame all set behind the Golden Age of Hollywood, who would not like this book as it truly has everything. I am so excited they are turning it into a movie and can\u2019t wait to see who they cast as Evelyn.\u201d<\/p>\n

\""Romantic<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the perfect beach read. I found this as a recommendation off Reese\u2019s Book Club when I was looking for something light and fun and it did not disappoint. I enjoyed how the book took place in the male-dominated world of late-night comedy writing, think \u2018SNL,\u2019 but was told through the female\u2019s perspective and what it would look like both internally and externally if she fell for one of the show\u2019s guests. It truly has all the makings of a perfect romantic comedy between the two protagonists Sally and Noah and the awkwardness yet fun the ensues when crushing on someone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\""Intermezzo"<\/p>\n

\u201cFull transparency, this was not initially on the top of my list as I had not read Sally\u2019s other books, but my friends told me to read as I am fascinated by family dynamics. I thought this was such a heartbreaking yet beautiful story on how two brothers deal so differently with love, loss and navigating their own relationship. It\u2019s long, but I recommend sticking through as the ending is very satisfying.\u201d<\/p>\n

\""I'll<\/p>\n

\u201cI typically read fiction, but I just love Chelsea Handler<\/a> and think she is one of the best storytellers for her ability to be slightly outrageous, a little raw yet always empowering.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Bridget<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a bit of a throwback, but I just watched the final installment film \u2018Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy\u2019 and it reminded me of how much I loved this series of books. Bridget Jones is truly one of the greatest literary characters who stays unapologetically herself throughout life\u2019s greatest highs and lows.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Page Six may be compensated and\/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":77821,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[223,88,12347,55007,520,5033],"class_list":["post-77820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-books","tag-books","tag-entertainment","tag-models","tag-page-turners","tag-shopping","tag-style"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
