Great Big Beautiful Life – A Story Worth Fighting For

: Summary of the Book

Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry is a sparkling, layered novel where rivalry, mystery, and romance intertwine on a sun-soaked island.

Invited to Margaret’s secluded home on Little Crescent Island, they enter a month-long trial period under strict NDAs, each receiving only fragments of her history.
