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

"The Island of Missing Trees" by Elif Shafak ($14)

• What it's about: In this book, two teenagers fall in love in secret on the island of Cypress, and their forbidden romance blossoms beneath a hidden fig tree. The two are separated when war breaks out, though, and as adults, they both find themselves thinking back to that long-ago romance and wondering if they'll ever meet again.
• What Witherspoon says: "Set in different time periods, the story revolves around a couple who met in Cyprus shortly before the 1974 conflict. There's magic, mystery and a tree that plays a pivotal role which transcends world wars, cultures and great love."
