The Last Thing He Told Me A Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick

A Goodreads Top 20 Book of the Last 5 Years. A #1 New York Times Bestseller. A Reese’s Book Club Pick. And now a hit Apple TV+ series starring Jennifer Garner. Some books earn every single one of their accolades.

Before Owen Michaels disappears, he slips his wife a single note: Protect her. Hannah knows exactly who he means — Bailey, his sixteen-year-old daughter, who wants nothing to do with her new stepmother. But as the FBI closes in, federal agents appear at the door, and Owen’s calls go unanswered, Hannah realizes the man she married may not be who he claimed to be at all.

What follows is a breathless, emotionally charged race for the truth — one that forces two reluctant women to trust each other with everything. PopSugar calls it “page-turning, exhilarating, and unforgettable.” Real Simple calls it a “heartfelt thriller.” Readers around the world — over 5 million copies sold — simply call it one of the best things they’ve ever read.

With its dizzying plot twists, breakneck pacing, and quietly devastating family drama, this is the kind of story that keeps you up well past a reasonable hour. The kind you press into a friend’s hands the moment you finish.

We keep this one close to the register for a reason. It’s a perennial favorite here at the shop — the sort of thriller that sneaks in a genuinely moving story about belonging, trust, and starting over.

Perfect for fans of suspense, family drama, and that rare book that does both beautifully.
