“We bought it for a bunch of people for Christmas because I feel like it’s a little bit of required reading”, she said. She also uses it to spread social good. Even if things do come to an end for the once happy couple, don’t expect to see the actress posting about it on social media. “She should be able to enter this world when it feels right for her, and not [have me] make that decision for her.
