Hello, dear readers,
There’s so much I’m dying to share with you, and one thing that I actually can. The cover for my next book, Great Big Beautiful Life, is here, and I hope you love it like I do. We worked with our usual designer/artist, Sanny Chiu, and as always, she did a stunning job. For this one, we really wanted something that felt akin to the past covers while also nodding toward the things that make this one a bit different. Which of course will make more sense once you’ve read.
For now, though, I can finally start telling you about this story that’s been occupying every ounce of my energy this year. You can read the synopsis and see the cover over on People.com.
As many of you guessed (Even without a synopsis. You’re wizards.), the song that best encapsulates this one is Last Great American Dynasty, a song I’ve always wanted the chance to read in book form, because T. Swift does so much with so little space in that one that it always leaves me chomping at the bit for more of the story. This obviously is not that story, but once I’d written a draft of this and sat back to think about it, I realized that so much of what I love from that story does overlap with the things I’m writing about in this one.
Like I’ve been telling you, this book is a little bit different, though still very much a love story (and a romance, to be clear), and I do know I say this every time, but I’ve genuinely never been more nervous to share something with you. Writing this book consumed me, tore me up, and challenged me like nothing has in years. It felt like the right book for me at the moment, and I hope that means that some of you reading this will feel the same way when the time comes.
That’s all I’ve got for you at the moment, but there will be lots more soon.
With love,
Emily
