A Complete Guide to Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine Book Club Picks

"This Is How It Always Is" by Laurie Frankel ($12)

• What it's about: Claude is five years old and the youngest of five brothers; he loves peanut butter sandwiches and wearing dresses. When he grows up, he wants to be a girl. His parents, Rosie and Penn, want Claude to be whoever he wants to be, but they aren't ready to share that with the rest of the world, so they keep Claude's identity a secret . . . until one day keeping that secret is no longer an option.
• What Witherspoon says: "Every once in a while, I read a book that opens my eyes in a way I never expected."
