The Sweet Home Alabama actress and Margaret recalled the time when Reese was in high school.

“This is gonna make me cry. You taught me so much. You saw something in me and encouraged me,” said The Morning Show star.

Reese opened up that she would “read books secretly” as a teenager because she saw “books as a private place to go to escape her life when she was having a hard time in high school”.

To which Margaret replied, “You were working in an adult world but you were still a kid.”

She continued, “And you were still navigating ... the cliques and the casual cruelty of high school.”

Margaret told Reese, “You already knew that language, that stories were the way to make something make sense that is hard to make sense of.”

Meanwhile, the Wild actress also discussed about Margaret book, saying, “It's a beautiful love letter to nature and the world around us.”

“It's a timely pick as well, as people continue paying more and more attention to the environment around them,” added Reese.
