Review: Great Big Beautiful Life

Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

22 May 2025

Last night I dreamed that I was once again back in book-publishing or -selling, and I met Emily Henry doing something work-related. She was lovely. In the dream Great Big Beautiful Life had been embargoed and only released [that day] so I hadn't read much of it yet. But whatever complimentary thing I said about her writing seemed to puzzle and mildly alarm her. (It's been a while, but I don't recall upsetting any authors I ever spoke to.) Ah, well, the bus driver was kind about me holding him up, and I got to pet the driver's snoozing grey cat who was very sweet and not at all alarmed by me.

It was a pleasant start to my day, and I so rarely remember dreaming at all, let alone people or scenes, that I wanted to note it. No doubt I will enjoy this one as much as I had been in the dream.
