Thank you to @BerkleyRomance & @emilyhenrywrites for the free #gifted e-copy of this book! All opinions are my own.
𝐓𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞: Great Big Beautiful Life
𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫: Emily Henry
𝐏𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬: 432
𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬:
Alice - Journalist/writer who traveled from California on a mission to find Margaret Ives to write her biography. Workaholic that writes for The Scratch magazine. She has a great supportive friend group and a not-boyfriend Theo.
Hayden - He is a Pulitzer Prize winning Biographer from New York. Tall, handsome workaholic. Competing with Alice to write a book on Margaret's life.
Margaret- Tabloid Princess. Heir to the Ives family fortune. From a "cursed" family. After losing her her husband, she went into hiding. Changed her name and moved to Georgia selling her art.
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐡𝐚𝐬:
Small Town/Island Setting
Grumpy/Sunshine
Hidden Identity
Book about Books
Family Drama
Single POV
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐝:
• "Itchy Bitches" chat! Great side characters
• The 24 hour diner dates
• The sweet, tender moments between Alice & Hayden
• When Hayden's stony façade started to crack on the way to Alice’s mom's house
• Alice & her mom "clearing the air"
• The genre "mash-up"
• The Evelyn Hugo vibes
𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: I absolutely loved this book so much! I knew there was a twist coming at the end, but it was definitely not what I thought! This has to be my favorite of Emily's books! Reading this on my Kindle, I do wish the texting font was a little more distinguishable. I wish this would have been a dual POV, but I still adore GBBL!
