Reese Witherspoon, a world-renowned actress, has led Reese's Book Club since 2017, championing female authors and selecting critically-acclaimed novels such as Emily Henry's Great Big Beautiful Life and Celeste Ng's Our Missing Hearts.
Witherspoon recently released her own thriller novel, Gone Before Goodbye, a collaboration with best-selling author Harlan Coben. The story follows former Army surgeon Maggie McCabe, who lost her medical license after a series of tragic events and has fallen into disgrace.
When a former mentor offers her a lucrative yet secretive overseas job, Maggie takes it to help her sister out of debt. As a book lover, the author was excited to dive into Witherspoon's novel, but unfortunately, it falls flat.
