Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club: See All of Her 2024 Picks

April: 'The Most Fun We Ever Had' by Claire Lombardo

Claire Lombardo’s debut novel follows the Illinois-based Sorenson family — including parents David and Marilyn and their four adult daughters — whose lives are upended by the unexpected arrival of a new family member.

"This book truly feels like you’re a fly on the wall watching a real family interact,” Witherspoon says.

March: 'Anita de Monte Laughs Last' by Xochitl Gonzalez

From the author of the bestselling Olga Dies Dreaming comes a new novel about a female Cuban artist whose legacy is all but forgotten, until an art history student discovers her story — and begins to notice similarities to her own life. 

“I have goosebumps just talking about this story,” Witherspoon says of the novel, which was inspired by real-life artist Ana Mendieta.

February: 'Redwood Court' by DéLana R. A. Dameron

Redwood Court introduces readers to Mika Tabor, who's growing up in the 1990s in the all-Black working class suburb of Columbia, S.C. She learns important lessons from the people who raised her on the cul-de-sac of Redwood Court, from the societal to the mundane.

"This book is filled with a sense of nostalgia as Mika takes us down memory lane, sharing stories of her Southern Black family through a collection of vivid vignettes,” says Witherspoon.

January: 'First Lie Wins' by Ashley Elston

This gripping novel follows Evie Porter, who has a seemingly perfect life — except for the fact that she doesn't seem to actually exist.

"This fast-paced read has everything you could want in a thriller: secret identities, a mysterious boss and a cat & mouse game that kept me guessing the whole way through,” Witherspoon says, adding that she “did NOT expect that ending.”
