‘Gone Before Goodbye’ Falls Flat

Disappointing Debut: "Gone Before Goodbye" Falls Flat

Reese Witherspoon, a world-renowned actress, has been leading Reese's Book Club since 2017, championing female authors with critically-acclaimed picks like Emily Henry's "Great Big Beautiful Life" and Celeste Ng's "Our Missing Hearts".

Witherspoon's new thriller novel, "Gone Before Goodbye", co-authored with Harlan Coben, tells the story of Maggie McCabe, a former Army surgeon who lost her medical license after a series of tragic events.

"Gone Before Goodbye" is a story about Maggie McCabe, who takes a lucrative yet secretive overseas job to help her sister out of debt.

The book explores themes of redemption and survival, but unfortunately, it fails to impress.
