I always wanted to be a writer. I think that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m in awe of writers because I&#8217;ve tried to sit down and do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Among the female-led thrillers that Witherspoon has selected for her book club, the highest-rated ones tackle drama crackling under the surface of seemingly quiet lives. In addition to being\u00a0the top-rated thriller from Witherspoon&#8217;s book club, &#8220;Broken Country&#8221; by Clare Leslie Hall earned an average of 4.46 stars on Goodreads, bringing forth stories that explore the dark underbellies of women&#8217;s lives. This is true, too, of &#8220;Were The Crawdads Sing&#8221; by Lucy Foley, which earned a whopping 4.38 stars on Goodreads, uncovering the dark secrets of a private girl who lives outside social conventions.\u00a0Similarly, &#8220;Little Fires Everywhere&#8221; by Celeste Ng, which earned 4.07 stars, depicts a suburban community bristling with racial and economic tensions\u00a0\u2014 a story so compelling it&#8217;s one of Witherspoon&#8217;s book club picks that made it to the screen. If Witherspoon&#8217;s book club is committed to representing the female experience, then her selection of thrillers round out that perspective while depicting the dark side of life.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The highest rated thrillers from Reese&#8217;s Book Club unravel domestic tension Reese Witherspoon&#8217;s passion for storytelling comes through in her knack for selecting stories that resonate with audiences, often from little-known authors. &#8220;I always knew from the time I was seven that I wanted to be a storyteller or an actor or a singer,&#8221; she [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4863,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4862"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4862\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4864,"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4862\/revisions\/4864"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
