I love emily Henry’s books! But I will say I was more invested in margaret’s story than alice & Hayden’s. I didnt completely buy into their budding relationship but the twist at the end was fun!!

“What if I don’t want it to be my version of the story?” she asks. “What if I want the whole awful truth? What if I’m done living with my version of events, where I’m always the hero, and I want to sit down and see things in black and white for once?”

➺ Great Big Beautiful Life est mon deuxième livre par Emily Henry, et ne m'a malheureusement pas donné grande envie de découvrir le reste de ses oeuvres...

Ce roman n'était pas mauvais. Je l'ai lu très rapidement, j'étais vraiment à fond dedans ! Malheureusement, j'ai trouvé que le récit était très déséquilibré, et manquait cruellement d'enjeux. À partir de 30% environ, la partie romance de l'histoire était plus ou moins bouclée.

En toute honnêteté, ça ne m'a pas dérangé : la romance entre Alice et Hayden m'a laissé aussi indifférente qu'un sourd à un opéra.

Le seul point positif de ce roman était l'histoire de Margaret, qui m'a vraiment donné envie de tourner la page pour en savoir plus. Ce roman aurait été bien meilleur, à mes yeux, si on avait eu une histoire concentrée uniquement sur sa vie.

➺ En conclusion, un roman qui passe le temps sur le transat' à la plage, mais qui ne m'aura pas bouleversée...
