Great Big Beautiful Life

Mehr zum Buch

Two writers vie for the opportunity to narrate the captivating story of a woman with unexpected twists in this vibrant novel. Alice Scott, an eternal optimist, is eager for her big break, while Hayden Anderson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, exudes a brooding intensity. Both are on Little Crescent Island to write the biography of the elusive Margaret Ives, a tragic heiress and former tabloid princess from a scandalous family. When Margaret invites them for a month-long trial, she will ultimately select who will tell her story. Alice is determined to win her over for three reasons: her genuine love for people, her desire to impress her skeptical family with a significant publication, and her growing awareness of Hayden's intense scrutiny, which suggests he views her as a rival. However, Margaret only shares fragments of her story, and an ironclad NDA prevents them from collaborating. As they navigate their competition, an undeniable tension builds between them, complicating their quest. It becomes clear that their narrative—like Margaret's—could unfold as a mystery, tragedy, or love story, depending on who takes the lead.
