Not Just a Love Story: Reading Great Big Beautiful Life | ARC Review

In this bonus episode, Corrie and Lucia dive into Emily Henry’s latest release, Great Big Beautiful Life. From the perks of getting an ARC to the emotional weight of the final chapters, we unpack what worked (the characters), what felt familiar, and why we were left with some very mixed feelings.

Thank you to Viking and Penguin Random House for sending us advanced reader copies of this book!
