Emily Henry has a knack for writing stories that feel like conversations with an old friend—honest, funny, and quietly profound—and Great Big Beautiful Life is no exception. This book gently nudges you to laugh & reflect.
Henry’s writing is warm and witty, balancing emotional depth with just the right amount of levity. One moment you’re smiling at a clever line, and the next you’re pausing to sit with a truth that quietly hits home. It’s not flashy, but it’s deeply felt.
If you’re looking for a story that feels like sunlight through leaves—bright, comforting, and a little bit bittersweet—this book is worth the read.
About the Book
When Margaret Ives, the famously reclusive heiress, invites eternal optimist Alice Scott to the balmy Little Crescent Island, Alice knows this is it: her big break. And even more rare: a chance to impress her family with a Serious Publication.
The catch? Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud, Hayden Anderson, is sure of the same thing.
The proposal? A one-month trial period to unearth the truth behind one of the most scandalous families of the 20th Century, after which she’ll choose who’ll tell her story.
The problem? Margaret is only giving each of them tantalising pieces. Pieces they can’t put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they’re in the same room.
And it’s becoming abundantly clear that their story – just like the tale Margaret’s spinning – could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad … depending on who’s telling it.
