\n"Two writers compete for the chance to tell the larger-than-life story of a woman with more than a coup le of plot twists up her sleeve in this dazzling and sweeping new novel fr om Emily Henry. Alice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her b ig writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning human thunde rcloud. And they're both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reas on: To write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years-or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress\, former tabloid princess\, and daughter of one of the most storie d (and scandalous) families of the 20th Century. When Margaret invites the m both for a one-month trial period\, after which she'll choose the person who'll tell her story\, there are three things keeping Alice's head in th e game. One: Alice genuinely likes people\, which means people usually lik e Alice-and she has a whole month to win the legendary woman over. Two: Sh e's ready for this job and the chance to impress her perennially unimpress ed family with a Serious Publication. Three: Hayden Anderson\, who should have no reason to be concerned about losing this book\, is glowering at he r in a shaken-to-the core way that suggests he sees her as competition. Bu t the problem is\, Margaret is only giving each of them pieces of her stor y. Pieces they can't swap to put together because of an ironclad NDA and a n inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they're in the sam e room. And it's becoming abundantly clear that their story-just like the tale Margaret's spinning-could be a mystery\, tragedy\, or love ballad...d epending on who's telling it"-- Provided by publisher.
