This may be a peak Bookmarked conversation — It’s got joy, surprises, a strong female lead, best-selling energy, and our Book-Lover-in-Chief, Reese Witherspoon. On this live Bookmarked episode, recorded at the Apple SoHo Store in New York City, Reese Witherspoon and Harlan Coben introduce the world to their first collaboration — and the thriller of the season — Gone Before Goodbye. They talk about stepping toward creative fear, what their writing process was like, and the many real-life inspirations behind their heroine, Maggie McCabe. This live recording was made in partnership with Apple Books, where you can read and listen to the audiobook of Gone Before Goodbye, voiced by Reese Witherspoon and Chris Pine.
