Great Big Beautiful Life
by Emily Henry
Great Big Beautiful Life pits two ghostwriters against each other for the rights to a reclusive heiress's memoir, and Emily Henry uses the rivalry to build one of her richest contemporary romances yet, part love story, part multigenerational family saga.

Beach Read
by Emily Henry
Beach Read is Emily Henry's breakout: two rival writers, a burned-out literary novelist and a cheerful blockbuster romance author, end up in neighboring beach houses and dare each other to swap genres for the summer. It's funnier, sadder, and more grown-up than its sunny cover suggests.

People We Meet on Vacation
