Format: Hardcover

Overview:
Emily Henry’s two-book collection brings together her sharp, heart-forward contemporary romance with a twist of literary intrigue. Great Big Beautiful Life, a Reese’s Book Club selection, follows two journos—Alice Scott and Hayden Anderson—whose race to author the life story of a magnetic, elusive heiress becomes a tangled dance of ambition, romance, and secrecy. The storyline unfolds with Henry’s signature blend of sparkling dialogue, emotional depth, and panoramic sense of place, drawing readers into the sunlit world of Little Crescent Island and the high-stakes world of prestige journalism. Paired with Funny Story, Henry’s wittiest, most mischievous romance, the collection pivots to a modern-day meet-cute built on misdirection, friendship, and a plan that may blur the line between publicity stunt and real affection. Together, these two novels showcase Henry’s gift for witty banter, layered relationships, and emotionally resonant endings that linger long after the final page turn. This set is ideal for fans of contemporary romance and smart, character-driven storytelling.

What This Collection Covers:
Great Big Beautiful Life and Funny Story sit at the intersection of wit, romance, and thoughtful character work. In Great Big Beautiful Life, the tension between two ambitious biographers and the mysterious subject they’re chasing fuels a narrative that moves from tense negotiation to warm, slowly blooming connection, all under the pressure of NDA clauses and public interest. The collection then shifts to Funny Story, where a break-up premise becomes a playful, heart-led exploration of forgiveness, doors closing and opening, and the ways new partnerships can emerge from messy beginnings. Readers will enjoy Henry’s deft character development, the way humor lightens heavy themes, and the steady build toward emotionally satisfying conclusions. This pairing invites readers to binge-read a cohesive, heartful experience that rewards patience and attention to nuance.

Book-by-Book Guide:
Great Big Beautiful Life — In this sweeping contemporary romance, two competing biographers, Alice Scott and Hayden Anderson, are drawn into a high-stakes assignment on Little Crescent Island. The reclusive heiress at the center of the story becomes less a subject and more a mirror, reflecting the ambitions, insecurities, and vulnerabilities of the two writers. As they piece together an unwritten story, secrets surface, alliances shift, and the undeniable chemistry between them complicates every step of the project. The novel blends sharp dialogue with lush atmosphere, inviting readers to root for both professional success and personal risk as the truth about the past—and the future—begins to emerge.

Funny Story — Daphne’s world is upended when her fiancé leaves her for his long-time best friend Petra. To cope, she teams up with Petra’s ex, Miles, and the two strike a plan to swap headlines and memories for a staged, eye-catching online narrative. What starts as a controlled experiment in storytelling spirals into a genuine connection that challenges both of them to confront their pasts and their fears about commitment. Henry threads humor through a tender romance, delivering a story about growth, trust, and the surprising moments when real love shows up in the most unexpected places.

Who This Set Is Perfect For:
This two-book collection is crafted for adult readers who savor contemporary romance with sharp dialogue, emotionally honest arcs, and a dash of literary flair. It’s an excellent gift for fans of smart, relationship-centered storytelling, readers seeking fresh, character-driven plots, and anyone who enjoys a dragged-into-an-atypical-romance premise that still delivers a satisfying, heartfelt payoff.
