Great Big Beautiful Life

Loved the plot! It felt different from Emily Henry's previous books yet it was perfect blend of literary fiction + romantic comedy. I didn't see the connection between Margaret & someone (cant say who!) Loved her history & passion that Alice had for her work

Always loved Emily Henry books. This one is a bit different but it is still a really good story in the end.

The story, characters swept me out of my feet. Couldn’t get enough of it. I thought i know what an amazing book is, but this was different.

Rather disappointed with this one. For anyone who is a fan of Emily Henry, we guys thrive on the romance she builds in her books. The plot, sub plots, tensions, energy, love and emotions are all a big part of her writing and she writes romance like no other author that I have ever personally read. However, with this book a lot of things went wrong. First being the fact that I did not feel any romance or any romantic tension between the two characters. Those two fell in love because they had to. It wasn’t built in the right way, according to me. Second was the fact that this was not a mystery novel, either, and possibly because I am a writer too, I could predict the plot. So there weren’t any big moments in the book that could really make me feel more related to this. That being said, Emily is a brilliant brilliant writer than that nobody can take away from her.

Good.

How does she do it? Bring you in and leave you wanting more? I loved the story within a story pattern of this book - but what was always there was Emily’s brilliant romance writing - make me want to go back and read all the other books! Stupendous as always!

I adore Emily Henry's writing. The way she weaves romance into the plot — like love isn't the sole focus but simply a part of life, making everything & everyone better — is just so heart-warming to read ❤️ The story truly does justice to the title of the book. The mystery aspects were thrilling & transported me to a Sidney Sheldon-era (Huge fan btw!) — absolute chef's kiss! It was a 5 star read, but I am taking away a star simply because I felt there should have been more of the MMC, Hayden. Since he plays such a huge key role in the plot, I wanted more of his story — his family, his inner world. But that's just me being the perfectionist that I am. You can never go wrong with an Emily Henry book — she writes with the utmost tenderness, grace & depth.
