While writing a recent story about the best Reese’s Book Club book for your zodiac sign, the thought crossed my mind: What’s the highest-rated title Witherspoon has ever chosen to feature? So I popped on over to Goodreads and discovered that the most beloved Reese-approved pick, according to users of the platform, is none other than The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, which has racked up 4.64 stars based on a whopping 1.7 million ratings and 145,000 reviews. Thoroughly impressed, I knew I had to read it and share my honest review.
