Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry

 

Two writers are competing for the same story...

But the real story might be the one happening between them.

Alice Scott is an optimistic journalist chasing the biggest story of her career.

Hayden Anderson is a serious, award-winning writer with the exact same goal.

Both have been invited to a remote island by the legendary Margaret Ives—a woman who vanished from public life decades ago.

Now Margaret is finally ready to tell her story.

There's just one catch:

She'll only choose one writer to tell it.

As Alice and Hayden spend the summer competing for exclusive access, they uncover secrets, scandals, heartbreak, and a family history that's stranger than fiction.

But the closer they get to the truth...

the closer they get to each other.

And soon, Alice must decide what she's willing to risk for the story she's always wanted.

Because sometimes the greatest story isn't the one you're writing.

It's the one you're living.
