About this listen
For the May Book Club, the Lost in Fiction community read Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry, their first full romance pick and one of the year’s most anticipated releases. However, despite the hype, the book fell flat for much of the group. In this episode, Emily and Alex explore the chemistry between Alice and Hayden, the chaotic pacing, and the wild late-book twists (yes, there is a cult), all while praising Emily Henry’s writing on grief, love, and family. While Margaret’s backstory and sisterhood themes offered some beautiful moments, the muddled structure and rushed romance left most members wanting more. The final rating was a generous 3 stars, marking the lowest Book Club score yet, so consider yourself warned before diving into this one.
