Emily Henry's latest romancebook, Great Big Beautiful Life, is one of her best so far - and it does get spicy, but how high does the heat go, and how does it compare to her previous novels? Great Big Beautiful Life is a rivals-to-lovers romance, set on Little Crescent Island in Georgia, where two writers, Alice and Hayden, will have to compete with each other to win a contract to write the life story of Margaret Ives, a complicated and long-missing heiress and tragic celebrity figure. It's an ideal set up for a slow burn, as the two keep bumping into each other in a small town, and sparks fly as mysteries are unraveled in everyone's lives.
