In this book club episode of Literature on the Rocks, we’re diving back into Emily Henry’s Great Big Beautiful Life—this time with your comments, our hot takes, and a few possibly tear-stained cocktail napkins. We’re unpacking grief, growth, and the unexpected connections that bloom when you least expect them.
Sunny, Rachel, and Rox answer this week’s prompts, revisit that unforgettable final chapter, and share listener insights that hit harder than a third shot of tequila. Spoiler alert: we’ve got thoughts about the romance, the retelling, and whether we’d personally go digging through a decades-old tragedy to find our own truth.
Grab your drink, get cozy, and come yell about books with us—because if you’re going to feel all the feels, it might as well be with your favorite trio of readers and ranters.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
