Free Audiobook : Great Big Beautiful Life, By Emily Henry

Alice Scott is the embodiment of optimism, still chasing her dream of becoming a renowned writer. Hayden Anderson, a Pulitzer Prize winner, is the epitome of gloom. They've both landed on the serene Little Crescent Island with a singular goal: to pen the biography of Margaret Ives, an enigmatic figure who's been out of the public eye for ages—or to at least meet the woman claiming to be her. She's known as a tragic heiress, a former tabloid darling, and offspring of one of the most notorious families of the last century.

Margaret decides to host them both for a month-long test run, after which she'll decide who gets to write her memoir. Alice's motivation is threefold:

One: She has a natural affinity for people, which typically makes her well-liked, giving her a month to charm the elusive matriarch.

Two: This job could be her ticket to proving her worth to her always skeptical family with a significant publication.

Three: Hayden Anderson, who by all accounts should feel secure, looks at Alice with a mix of fear and respect, acknowledging her as a real contender.

However, there's a catch; Margaret only shares fragments of her life story, and due to a strict non-disclosure agreement, they can't collaborate. Plus, there's an undeniable attraction complicating matters every time they're together.

It's clear now that their narrative, much like Margaret's, could turn into a mystery, a tragedy, or a love song...all hinging on the storyteller.
