When Daphne’s fiancé realizes he’s in love with his childhood best friend Petra and calls off the engagement, Daphne finds herself stranded in a lakeside town in Michigan.
She needs a roommate but doesn’t know anyone, aside from the one person who might understand what she’s going through: Petra’s ex.

Great Big Beautiful Life
Pre-order on Amazon | Pre-order on Bookshop.org
If you loved Emily Henry’s novel Beach Read like I did, get excited, because her newest novel will also feature two writers!
Alice Scott (an aspiring author) and Hayden Anderson (a Pulitzer Prize-winning author) both arrive on Little Crescent Island to meet with Margaret Ives octogenarian heiress who has lived a wild and tragic life. In one month, she will decide which of them will be writing her life story.
But she’s only giving them each parts of the story – which they aren’t allowed to share with each other. Things get more complicated as the two writers feel a growing spark between them.
Publication date: April 22nd, 2024
