As the weather starts to warm and the spring sunshine rolls in, it’s the perfect time to settle down with a brand-new book. Bring it to a park for that first beautiful day of the season, or curl up inside with it while you wait for April showers to bring May flowers. Either way, Reese Witherspoon has the perfect book to recommend for this time of year.
The book is Into the Blue by Emma Brodie, and it’s the Reese’s Book Club April pick. It’s an emotional romance set over the span of several decades, filled with plenty of yearning and pop culture references.
In it, AJ dreams of being a comedy writer for SNL, but she doesn’t know how to escape her small town. While working for a video rental, she meets Noah, the son of a famous family of actors. They become close friends, acting partners, and then something more—until Noah disappears without a word. Seven years later, Noah is a Hollywood heartthrob, and AJ finds herself co-starring with him in the same science fiction TV show, forcing them to confront their complicated past.
“Into the Blue by Emma Brodie is a story that really stayed with me—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,” Reese Witherspoon writes.
Into the Blue also has a scent collab with Yankee Candle to make reading it an immersive experience. As part of a year-long collaboration between Reese’s Book Club and Yankee Candle, the book pairs with Yankee’s Coastal Cliffhanger scent. “Get swept away flipping through the perfect beach read—aromas of sea daffodil and solar florals mingle with watery mineral notes in a sunlit rush that pulls you in page after page,” the Yankee Candle website describes.
Throw open the windows for some spring cleaning, light the matching candle, and then settle in to this emotional drama. Don’t forget to join the GH Book Club for more great book recommendations every month.
