Imagine an Oscar-winning actress with a fan-favorite book club and a New York Times best-selling author getting together to write their first thriller together – it’s literary gold, right?

Well, if you agree with us, you’ll be thrilled to know that Reese Witherspoon announced she’s officially writing a book with award-winning author Harlan Coben!

“I’m beyond excited to share that I’m co-writing my very first thriller with # 1 bestselling author, @harlancoben!” Witherspoon, who’s written children’s books and a cookbook in the past, announced on Instagram. “As a massive fan of Harlan’s work, I can’t believe he agreed to co-author a novel with me.”

“I’m either the most persuasive person alive or the idea of this book is just TOO GOOD! Maybe both ?? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤗” Witherspoon joked in the caption. “I honestly can’t wait for you all to read it!”

Witherspoon and Coben’s upcoming book, which is set to be released a year from now on Oct. 14, 2025, is already available for pre-order. For some fans, it’s the perfect opportunity to reserve their spot as one of its first readers.

As for what their book is about, most of it is still under wraps. All we know is that the novel will be a thriller, released in the fall of next year, and have a total of 352 pages, per Amazon.

Is all this information enough to pay for a pre-order? With Witherspoon and Coben in the driving seat, we certainly think so!
