Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry
2.0
lighthearted slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character

Every Emily Henry novel I’ve had has had this thing, this pulse. A deeply set humanity between the lines. And, I wanted so badly to love this because I’ve loved all the others in their own ways. But, I was left feeling like Schmidt glancing at a restaurant menu in the Dice episode of New Girl as he said, “They got pizza, gelato, Tikka Masala. A raw bar. This place is doing too much. They can't be doing all this right.”

This place was, in fact, doing too much.
