Great Big Beautiful Life simmers and crackles with Henry’s characteristic whimsy, humor, quick-witted dialogue, and chemistry between her characters, who are as well-developed as ever, but also, with such palpable love in all its machinations from familial to platonic to parental to romantic, that my brain is still whirring after finishing. Henry just gets what makes all those relationships tick, the ebbs and flows, and the intangibles within.
