P's Book Club
The wonderful P from The Hits Breakfast show has launched a Book Club. This winter, she will feature a new book each month in partnership with our own Paper Plus.
In addition to hearing P speak about each book on-air and joining a fantastic Facebook group, followers will have a chance to win some great prizes.
This month’s read is Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry. It focuses on two writers who compete to tell the larger-than-life story of a woman with more than a couple of plot twists……
Alice Scott is an eternal optimist, dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-Prize-winning human thundercloud. And they’re both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: To write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years--or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the 20th Century.
When Margaret invites them both for a one-month trial period, after which she’ll choose the person to tell her story, three things keep Alice’s head in the game.
One: Alice genuinely likes people, which means people usually like Alice, and she has a whole month to win the legendary woman over.
Two: She’s ready for this job and the chance to impress her perennially unimpressed family with a Serious Publication.
Three: Hayden Anderson, who should have no reason to be concerned about losing this book, is glowering at her in a shaken-to-the-core way that suggests he sees her as competition.
However, the problem is that Margaret only gives them pieces of her story. Pieces they can’t swap to put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they’re in the same room.
And it’s becoming abundantly clear that their story—like Margaret’s spinning tale—could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad…depending on who’s telling it.
