Great Big Beautiful Life

Great Big Beautiful Life

Two writers, Alice Scott and Hayden Anderson, compete for the chance to tell the story of Margaret Ives, a reclusive woman with a scandalous past, on Little Crescent Island. Alice, an optimistic and aspiring writer, and Hayden, a Pulitzer-prize winner, are both vying for the opportunity to write Margaret’s biography. With only a month to win her over, Alice must navigate her growing connection to Hayden and the mysterious pieces of Margaret’s story they’re each given under strict confidentiality. As the stakes rise, their own unfolding story could become a romance, a mystery, or a tragedy—depending on who gets to tell it.

Review

There was a point when I was reading this where I had to put the book down and physically pace but I was on an airplane, so I walked up and down the aisle like a caged animal. HAYDEN!!!! ALICE!!!!! I love them.
