Review of Great Big Beautiful Life

I very nervously went into this one after hearing such varied reviews! It was one of my most anticipated books of the year, as all of Emily Henry’s books are, so I was hopeful I would love it. I may not have loved it,, but I really liked it! I know there are comparisons between this one and a book by Taylor Jenkins Reid (one of hers that I still need to read), but I obviously can’t comment on that. I loved Alice and Hayden together and would have liked more of their story. It was interesting that they were both writers and I enjoyed hearing about their work. The writing throughout the book was great as always and flowed well. I admire that the author tried a different approach with this book than what she has done previously. Overall, this will be one of my least favourite of her books but I have enjoyed all of them. I loved her last two so much that this was a little bit of a letdown, but I still definitely liked it and recommend it. I will happily have it on my Emily Henry bookshelf!!
