Into The Blue by Emma Brodie – a Reece’s Book Club Selection PB

A Reese’s Book Club Pick. Grab a cup of something warm and settle in, because this one’s going to keep you up past your bedtime.

In the summer of 2000, AJ Graves dreams of writing for Saturday Night Live. Instead, she’s stuck behind the counter of a video rental store in small-town Massachusetts, watching her big dreams flicker just out of reach. Then Noah Drew walks in—enigmatic, intense, and the scion of a legendary acting dynasty. Two very different lives collide, and a cosmic bond is born. First as friends. Then as acting partners. Until, one day, Noah vanishes without a word.

Seven years later, AJ is stunned to find herself cast opposite Noah—now a bona fide Hollywood heartthrob—in the same intergalactic TV series. As their on-screen characters draw closer, the line between acting and reality starts to blur, and the secret that once tore them apart threatens to do it all over again.

This is a decades-spanning love story with explosive chemistry, unforgettable characters, and enough yearning to fill the whole ocean. It asks a question worth lingering over: what does it mean to step off the script and write your own story?

The praise says it all. “Intoxicating,” raves Taylor Jenkins Reid. “Smart and romantic,” says Gabrielle Zevin. “Deeply moving,” adds Kevin Wilson.

Perfect for readers who love second chances, big feelings, and stories that stay with you long after the last page. A wonderful discovery for a rainy afternoon by the cove—salt air optional, but recommended.
