Why We’re Obsessed with Great Big Beautiful Life
If you haven't already devoured this book (and considering it won by a landslide of fan votes, you probably have), let me give you a quick reminder of the magic waiting between these pages.
Great Big Beautiful Life gives us everything we adore about an Emily Henry novel: witty banter, deep emotional exploration, and a slow-burn connection that makes your heart ache in the best way.
We follow the journey of a sunny aspiring writer and the grumpy literary icon she clashes with, all while chasing a story involving a shady octogenarian heiress. The chemistry? Electric. The setting? Divine. The tension, sexual and otherwise? Through the roof. It’s a book that reminds us that love can bloom in the most unexpected, and beautifully complicated, circumstances.
A Win for the Readers
What makes the Goodreads Choice Awards so special is that it’s voted on entirely by us (the readers)! This isn't just an industry nod; it's a massive, resounding chorus from the global romance community declaring: "This is our favorite book of the year."
Emily Henry has become a true staple in our genre, writing books that not only make us swoon but also make us think deeply about life, loss, and the bravery it takes to chase happiness. To see her continue to dominate this category is a testament to the incredible, authentic stories she shares with us year after year.
