New Emily Henry book

Emily Henry — best known for her books Beach Read, People We Meet on Vacation, Book Lovers, Happy Place and Funny Story — teased the book in her newsletter, The Grocery List, on Friday, September 6. 

Then, on Monday, September 9, the author took to Instagram to announce the title — Great Big Beautiful Life. 

“You might also have heard me in interviews talk about how hard this book has been since that first draft,” the author wrote in her newsletter. “This book is different than anything I’ve written before but also feels like a really natural extension of what I’ve been doing the last few years.”

“There is, of course, a love story and a vacation and complicated family dynamic and all the things I’ve always found myself drawn toward, but there’s also something else, and I’m both overjoyed and terrified to be able to share it more about it with you so soon, Including which T. Swift song it most closely correlates to since I know that some of you will ask. (Another hint: It’s on Folklore.)” 

The book will be released in the spring of 2025, and the plot remains a mystery. 

New Tessa Bailey book 

The next book in Tessa Bailey’s Big Shots series is set to release in February 2025. 

It is going to be titled Dream Girl Drama, and Bailey says, “Since releasing The Au Pair Affair, I’ve been asked if Chloe and Sig would get their own book, and I’m delighted to tell you that their story is written and coming in February.”

“Their story is written and coming in February. A steamy chance encounter between a professional hockey player and the dream girl he just can’t seem to forget takes a turn when the pair realize that their parents are engaged. Yes, I’m going there.” 

She also released a hilarious promo video, which you can watch below: 

New Ali Hazelwood book 

Grab your goggles because Ali Hazelwood is heading back to the lab on February 4, 2025. 

Explains Hazewleood: “Deep End is a college sports romance between a platform diver and a swimmer. If Bride was my homage to the paranormal romance novels I read in the 2000s, Deep End is my love letter to the new adult books I read in the 2010s (and to the ones I’m reading now, tbh, we love a renaissance!” 

“This book came out of me so smoothly, it sort of shocked me? The previous one I’d written had been a very rough experience, but I loved the process of writing Deep End, and when I finished editing, I looked at it and thought: "Wow, I really like you.” 

New Annabel Monaghan book 

Finally, this week, Summer Romance and Nora Goes Off Script author Annabel Monaghan announced her newest book It’s a Love Story, will hit shelves in the summer of 2025.

“Set in Hollywood and on Long Island, it’s the story of a former teen TV star and the pompous cinematographer who she can’t stand… but also, it’s a love story,” wrote Monahan in her Instagram post. “A million more words on this, as well as the most gorgeous cover to ever grace one of my books, all coming soon. My heart’s racing while typing this. I just got really excited.”
