Great Big Beautiful Life

Two writers compete for the chance to tell the larger-than-life story of an heiress with more than a few plot twists up her sleeve in this dazzling and sweeping new novel from Emily Henry. 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 shell choose wholl tell her story. The problem? Margaret is only giving each of them tantalising pieces. Pieces they cant put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time theyre in the same room. And its becoming abundantly clear that their story just like the tale Margarets spinning could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad depending on whos telling it.
