The actor is already a big presence in the literary world thanks to her book club. Reese Witherspoon’s book club is a literary phenomenon. Founded in 2017, her monthly selections aim to champion women’s voices, stories and writing. The Legally Blonde actor began the book club as a direct challenge to not just the publishing industry, but also Hollywood. After reading a particularly bad script, she was frustrated by the lack of interesting and nuanced roles for women in film and TV.
As such, she launched her own production company, Hello Sunshine, which has gone on to develop books including Big Little Lies, Daisy Jones and The Six, Gone Girl and Where The Crawdads Sing, all to critical acclaim. Having bolstered the commercial success of female authors like Delia Owens, Celeste Ng, Taylor Jenkins Reid, Kiley Reid and Lucy Foley, it’s now Witherspoon’s turn to put pen to paper.
The actor has announced a thriller book co-written by one of the most legendary writers of the genre: Harlen Coben. If you haven’t read any of his more than 30 novels, chances are you’ve seen one of the many Netflix adaptions (Missing You landed on the streaming platform at the start of the year).
Author of Fool Me Once, Stay Close, Think Twice and Tell No One, Coben’s hugely popular books are loved for their suspenseful plots, sudden twists and relatable characters. So, who better for Witherspoon to team up with for her debut novel? From release date to potential plot, here’s everything you need to know about the co-written thriller.
