Summer Book Club: Great Big Beautiful Life - Emily Henry

It’s the second episode of our Summer Book Club and this time, we’re diving headfirst into Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry.

So then, it was the book that promised joy, mess, meaning and maybe a mild existential spiral — did it deliver? 👀

In this episode, Em V, Jessie and Holly unpack:

  • Why this story hits differently when you read it in summer

  • The characters we wanted to hug… and the ones we wanted to gently shake

  • Big love, big choices and the pressure to live a 'beautiful' life

  • Whether this book is hopeful escapism or a mirror held a little too close

  • And the one question it leaves you asking long after the last page

It’s warm, emotional, occasionally unhinged (in a good way) and exactly the kind of book you want to argue about with friends.

Read it. Feel things. Then come scream about it with us.

Summer Book Club Episode 3 drops on January 25 when we'll be discussing the Melaleuca by Angie Faye Martin.
