In Great Big Beautiful Life, bestselling author Emily Henry delivers a moving, multi-layered story about love, truth and the beauty that can grow from broken places. The novel follows Alice Scott, an optimistic celebrity journalist, and Hayden Anderson, a guarded Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, as they compete to write the biography of a mysterious heiress on a secluded island, Margaret Ives. As the two untangle Ives' complicated past, they must also confront their own ideas of love, sacrifice and the stories we tell ourselves. Told with Henry's warmth and wit, this novel explores themes of resilience, memory, and the breathtaking messiness of life and serves as both a sweeping love story and a reminder that even amidst sorrow, there's still so much wonder to be found.
