In a post announcing the pick, Witherspoon shares, "April’s Reese's Book Club pick had me hooked the moment I started the audiobook. All That Life Can Afford by Emily Everett is about love, ambition and the cost of belonging, and I cannot stop thinking about it."
Set in and around 2009, this debut novel is about Anna, a young, working class American woman who falls in love with London at her local library. After college, she's finally able to move across the pond, but the London she has access to is a moldy flat and the same paycheck-to-paycheck grind as back home.
Then she meets a family, the Wilders, who fly her to Saint-Tropez to tutor their teenage daughter. There, Anna finds herself plunged into a world of parties and excess, and meets two handsome young men: one who wants to whisk her into his world, and the other who sees through Anna’s struggle to outrun her past. Her dream life has never been in closer reach, but what will it cost her to fully realize it?

All That Life Can Afford explores what it means to create a new life for yourself that still honors the one you’ve left behind, and readers are already shouting its praise from the rooftops. One Goodreads reviewer raves, "An absolutely stunning debut about a young woman trying to make sense of the world she lives in, and what it means to find somewhere to call home. I absolutely devoured All That Life Can Afford...Everett's writing blends effortlessly between commercial and literary and once I found the book's groove, I didn't come up for air."
Oh, and did I mention the book is currently 30 percent off on Amazon? What are you waiting for?
