\nThis mon th we will be reading < strong>Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry.
\nA REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK ∙ AN INSTANT #1 \;NEW YORK TIME S \;BESTSELLER \;
\nAlice Scott is an eternal optim ist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer -prize winning human thundercloud. And they're both on balmy Little Cresce nt Island for the same reason: to write the biography of a woman no one ha s seen in years--or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to b e \;the \;Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress\, former tabloid princess\ , and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the twentieth century.
\nWhen Margaret invites them both for a one-mont h trial period\, after which she'll choose the person who'll tell her stor y\, there are three things keeping Alice's head in the game.
\nOne: Alice genuinely likes people\, which means people usually like Alice--and she has a whole month to win the legendary woman over.
\nTwo: She's ready for this job and the chance to impress her perennially unimpressed f amily with a Serious Publication.
\nThree: Hayden Anderson\, who sho uld have no reason to be concerned about losing this book\, is glowering a t her in a shaken-to-the core way that suggests he sees her as competition .
\nBut the problem is\, Margaret is only giving each of them pieces of her story. Pieces they can't swap to put together because of an ironcl ad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they'r e in the same room.
\nAnd it's becoming abundantly clear that their story--just like the tale Margaret's spinning--could be a mystery\, traged y\, or love ballad . . . depending on who's telling it. \;
