Discovering Reese Witherspoon's book club is the best thing that's happened to me in the past year because her picks have genuinely reignited my love for fiction. I can read celebrity memoirs and dig into cookbooks all day, but I missed stories that don't always have anything to do with reality.
Give me enemies-to-lovers, secret identities, and spooky homes. I want to be swept away by women's adventures, the decisions they make, and the regrets they have. Okay, some of these themes sound more realistic than not — and I'm not knocking it. Still, these stories sweep me away into someone else's world.
No matter what you're looking for, I can confidently say Reese's 2024 book club picks have covered every theme and more! If you haven't read them yet, here's a full recap of everything from January to now!
