Nov 2026 Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry
Alice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. HaydenAnderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud. And they’re both on balmyLittle Crescent Island for the same reason: to write the biography of a woman no onehas seen in years—or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims tobe the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of themost storied (and scandalous) families of the twentieth century.
When Margaret invites them both for a one-month trial period, after which she’ll choosethe person who’ll tell her story, there are three things keeping Alice’s head in the game.One: Alice genuinely likes people, which means people usually like Alice—and she hasa whole month to win the legendary woman over. Two: She’s ready for this job and thechance to impress her perennially unimpressed family with a Serious Publication.Three: Hayden Anderson, who should have no reason to be concerned about losing thisbook, is glowering at her in a shaken-to-the core way that suggests he sees her ascompetition.
But the problem is, Margaret is only giving each of them pieces of her story. Pieces theycan’t swap to put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearningpulsing between them every time they’re in the same room. And it’s becomingabundantly clear that their story—just like the tale Margaret’s spinning—could be amystery, tragedy, or love ballad . . . depending on who’s telling it.
