Hello to my fave bookworms!
Because the first half of summer term is ridiculously short, I think this one falls during half-term as well. 🤣
This month we return to a fave book club author with Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry! I think her books are usually pretty consistently good, so I’m super excited to see if this one lives up to the others. Anyone else preorder the gorgeous Waterstones special edition many moons ago or just me?
The synopsis for this book is posted below.
Please join us at the Brewhouse and Kitchen in Cheltenham for a chat about this book! I will have some guiding questions for us, but please come with any of your own. What did you like? What did you not like/bothered you? Was it too steamy for you or not steamy enough?
Synopsis:
When Margaret Ives, the famously reclusive heiress, invites eternal optimist Alice Scott to the balmy Little Crescent Island, Alice knows this is it: her big break. And even more rare: a chance to impress her family with a Serious Publication.
The catch? Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud, Hayden Anderson, is sure of the same thing.
The proposal? A one-month trial period to unearth the truth behind one of the most scandalous families of the 20th Century, after which she’ll choose who’ll tell her story.
The problem? Margaret is only giving each of them tantalising pieces. Pieces they can’t put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they’re in the same room.
And it’s becoming abundantly clear that their story – just like the tale Margaret’s spinning – could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad … depending on who’s telling it.
