Reese Witherspoon's April Book Club Pick Drops—and It's Got Suspense, a Small-Town Girl and a Shocking Secret

Another month, another pick for Reese's Book Club. The self-proclaimed Book-Lover-in-Chief took to Instagram this morning to launch the new read, which pulls readers from the fairytale otherworld of March's Lady Tremaine and drops them squarely in early 2000s Hollywood. If you loved books like The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Romantic Comedy, you'll want to put this on your TBR, stat.

This month, readers are picking up Emma Brodie's Into The Blue, a romantic, suspenseful novel centered on a young woman named AJ Graves. AJ's dream is to write for Saturday Night Live, but she instead finds herself working at the video rental store in her small Massachusetts town. One day, Noah Drew walks in. Noah comes from a dynasty of Hollywood thespians, and he and AJ become friends. Then acting partners. Then he disappears.

When the two are reunited nearly a decade later on a New York film set, they'll have to contend with the shared past that drives them apart—even as fate seems to reel them in together.

"Into The Blue by Emma Brodie is a story that really stayed with me," Witherspoon writes. "It's about love, timing and what happens when the past finds its way back into your life. I was so drawn to the way it explores fate versus choice."

Into The Blue is Brodie's sophomore novel, following 2021's Songs In Ursa Major. For Daisy Jones and The Six fans, the premise of Ursa might seem familiar, as it tells the story of up-and-coming folk singer Jane Quinn whose path collides with the legendary Jesse Reid—it promises love, drama, heartache and mystery.
