Overview
This paperback collection pairs two of Emily Henry's most acclaimed contemporary romances: Great Big Beautiful Life, a Reese's Book Club pick and #1 New York Times bestseller, and Funny Story, her witty tale of an accidental almost-couple born from heartbreak. Both novels showcase Henry's signature blend of sharp banter, slow-burn chemistry, and emotionally honest storytelling. From a sun-drenched Georgia island to a small lakeside town, these stories pair vivid settings with characters readers root for, making this bundle a must-have for any contemporary romance collection.

About the Books
Great Big Beautiful Life follows rival journalists Alice Scott and Hayden Anderson as they compete to write the authorized biography of Margaret Ives, a reclusive, larger-than-life heiress whose family history reads like a novel of its own. Sent to the island of Little Crescent, the two writers are forced into uneasy collaboration, trading secrets and simmering attraction as Margaret's story unfolds across decades. What begins as a professional rivalry slowly becomes personal, and Henry uses the dual-timeline structure to explore ambition, family legacy, and sacrifice. The novel debuted at number one on the New York Times bestseller list and was selected as a Reese's Book Club pick. Funny Story takes a lighter, quicker-paced approach built around an unlikely friendship. When Daphne's fiance leaves her for his childhood best friend, she ends up sharing an apartment with Miles, the ex of the very woman who broke up her engagement. Determined to save face, the two stage a fake romance for social media, only to find the line between performance and genuine feeling increasingly blurry. Set in a small lakeside town, the novel balances laugh-out-loud humor with a tender look at rebuilding trust after heartbreak. Together, the two novels highlight Henry's range: a sweeping, decades-spanning mystery of family and fame, and an intimate slow burn, both united by witty dialogue and satisfying endings.
