About Great Big Beautiful Life — Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2025 by The New York Times ∙ Rolling Stone ∙ USA Today ∙ Harper’s Bazaar ∙ BBC ∙ PopSugar ∙ SheReads ∙ Paste ∙ and more!
Two writers compete for the chance to tell the larger-than-life story of a woman with more than a couple of plot twists up her sleeve in this dazzling and sweeping new novel from Emily Henry.
Alice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize-winning human thundercloud. And they’re both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: 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 storied (and scandalous) families of the twentieth century.
