Book Club Live: Into the Blue author Emma Brodie in conversation with Clare Leslie Hall

Hi Readers! We hosted our very first Reese’s Book Club LIVE on Substack, and it truly felt like the book club moment we have all been waiting for. Emma Brodie, author of NY Times Bestseller Into the Blue, joined us for an intimate and honest conversation about how writing the novel became a way of unpacking parts of her own story. She was joined by Reese's Book Club alum author Clare Leslie Hall, a NY Times Bestseller and winner of Amazon UK's 2025 Best Book of the Year for Broken Country. Alongside Brodie, she kept the energy high and even shared a sneak peek of what she is working on next (spoiler alert: it sounds amazing!).All of it unfolded in our live chat filled with readers sharing reactions, asking questions, and connecting in real time, turning the entire experience into something that felt less like an event and more like being in a room together with our favorite authors.Missed it? Don't worry, watch the full recording here. Although future recordings will be exclusive to our premium community, we’re making this one available to everyone as a special preview. Enjoy!
