Alice has her found her dream job: a biography on the famous Margaret Ives who upped and disappeared many years ago. Her story is the story of a lifetime but it comes with some conditions. 

Alice must compete with a fellow writer, Hayden, who has much better credentials than her own. 

In GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL LIFE, these competitors turn into lovers now trying to determine if this dream job will be the end of their new found romance. 

EMILY HENRY strays from her usual romance genre to include elements of a thriller. She writes characters with adorable personalities that you root for from beginning to end. By the time that you get to those last few pages, you are left sweating, wondering how she will manage to wrap this one up in a nice beautiful bow for her reader. 

hindsight: a great big beautiful book
