I remember when Great Big Beautiful Life came out, there was something debate over if it was a romance, and honestly, I’m not sure I see where that debate comes from. We primarily follow Alice and Hayden as they compete to write the biography of a famous woman who had seemingly disappeared. While the book didn’t only show the two of them interacting (they needed time to work), most of the book is about them. I actually thought they were pretty sweet together. Now, it isn’t a romcom, but it is a romance.
I would have liked more time to understand who Hayden is more, but I liked them together. I also thought understand the hesitancy they held (primarily Hayden) over getting together. I can see how it could feel messy.
I also thought Margret’s life was interesting and tragic. While some of her choices were frustrating, I understood where they came from.
The only reason I didn’t rate it higher was totally vibes based. There was some spark that was missing for me
