4.5 ⭐️ overall
Julia Whelan narration, which is always bomb!

I BINGED this in one listen! Stayed up super late to finish it!

This was so different from her other books. Definitely giving TJR vibes. This book reads more as contemporary fiction with a subplot of romance. Loved Alice and Hayden.

3.5

This was a really enjoyable fiction from mid 20th century, with a subplot of romance. The main feature is the relationship between our FMC and her aunt, and highlights the way society has judged women over the decades. ]]> Review7518625992 Sat, 26 Apr 2025 04:40:56 -0700 <![CDATA[Kassandra added 'Great Big Beautiful Life']]> /review/show/7518625992 Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry Kassandra gave 4 stars to Great Big Beautiful Life (Hardcover) by Emily Henry
