Reese Witherspoon has a thing for books. The Legally Blonde star is also an established media mogul, shepherding her Hello Sunshine company to massive success with hits like The Morning Show and Little Fires Everywhere. Witherspoon is also known for her passion for books and for sharing her favorite authors and novels through her Reese's Book Club, which shares a monthly book club pick and hosts discussions, conversations, and author interviews throughout the month.
Reese's Book Club's November pick was also named to Amazon's Best Books of the Year So Far list as well as Time's Must-Read Books of 2025 list. Now, Witherspoon is lauding the novel with another platitude, calling the book "The best ecological thriller I have ever read." That's high praise from the actress who has been creating a community of avid readers through her book club since 2017.
