Una vida maravillosa

Alice Scott es una optimista escritora en busca de su gran oportunidad, y Hayden Anderson, un temperamental ganador del Pulitzer; coinciden en la isla de Little Crescent para escribir la biografía de Margaret Ives, una enigmática mujer octogenaria y antigua princesa de la prensa rosa. Margaret los reta a competir durante un mes para ver quién logra contar su historia, lo que motiva a Alice por varias razones, especialmente para impresionar a su familia y superar la competencia de Hayden. Sin embargo, Margaret les da partes separadas de su historia, lo que los obliga a trabajar de manera aislada y crear una tensión creciente entre ellos. Mientras intentan descifrar los secretos de Margaret, la relación entre Alice y Hayden se complica, y su propio relato se convierte en un misterio, una tragedia o una historia de amor, según quien lo cuente.

Alice Scott is an eternal optimist still 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 the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the twentieth century. When Margaret invites them both for a one-month trial period, after which she’ll choose the person who’ll tell her story, there are three things keeping 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. But the problem is, Margaret is only giving each of 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 could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad… depending on who’s telling it.
