Book Synopsis
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Hotel Nantucket: After tragedy strikes, food blogger Hollis Shaw gathers four friends from different stages in her life to spend an unforgettable weekend on Nantucket. Hollis Shaw's life seems picture-perfect. She's the creator of the popular food blog Hungry with Hollis and is married to Matthew, a dreamy heart surgeon. But after she and Matthew get into a heated argument one snowy morning, he leaves for the airport and is killed in a car accident. The cracks in Hollis's perfect life--her strained marriage and her complicated relationship with her daughter, Caroline--grow deeper. So when Hollis hears about something called a "Five-Star Weekend"--one woman organizes a trip for her best friend from each phase of her life: her teenage years, her twenties, her thirties, and midlife--she decides to host her own Five-Star Weekend on Nantucket. But the weekend doesn't turn out to be a joyful Hallmark movie. The husband of Hollis's childhood friend Tatum arranges for Hollis's first love, Jack Finigan, to spend time with them, stirring up old feelings. Meanwhile, Tatum is forced to play nice with abrasive and elitist Dru-Ann, Hollis's best friend from UNC Chapel Hill. Dru-Ann's career as a prominent Chicago sports agent is on the line after her comments about a client's mental health issues are misconstrued online. Brooke, Hollis's friend from their thirties, has just discovered that her husband is having an inappropriate relationship with a woman at work. Again! And then there's Gigi, a stranger to everyone (including Hollis) who reached out to Hollis through her blog. Gigi embodies an unusual grace and, as it happens, has many secrets. The Five-Star Weekend is a surprising and captivating story about friendship, love, and self-discovery set on Nantucket. It will be a weekend like no other.Review Quotes
Praise for The Five-Star Weekend
"...a stunning, sun-drenched mix of romance and women's fiction...This should become a beach bag staple."--Publisher's Weekly
"Hilderbrand's latest is dripping with her signature Nantucket details; the food descriptions alone are enough to get readers to book the next ferry. Readers will be transported both by the setting and the emotional drama as Hilderbrand sets up seemingly impossible odds, then manages a convincing happy ending...It's not officially summer without a novel from Hilderbrand, and she delivers exactly what her readers want--female friendship, family drama, and gorgeous descriptions of Nantucket." --Booklist
"Hungry with Hollis is one of the internet's hottest sites, but when Hollis's husband dies in a car crash, her peppy posting flags. To cheer herself up, she curates the perfect house party with five close friends. Well, four close friends--and one follower she's made a special connection with. Wait till she finds out just how special their connection is. If you aren't already addicted to Hilderbrand's Nantucket novels, there's no time like the present."--Oprah Daily
"A dreamy Nantucket house party given by a meticulous hostess goes off the rails....The people in her books may screw up, but Hilderbrand always gets it right...Amazing."--Kirkus Reviews (starred)

Overall this was a nice feel good summer read. Took a little bit for me to get into, & there’s a lot of characters thrown at you right away, but once we get them all straight, I just flew right through & didn’t want to put it down. I loved the story, the self discovery & not knowing how it was going to end (especially between Hollis & Gigi)! My god I wanted to slap that girl into next Sunday!🤯 I especially loved how Caroline got a little look into her Mom’s past & was able to see her Mom in a new appreciative light.💛 Loved Tatum & Hollis’ backstory on their friendship over the years, & all the summery Nantucket beach vibes! I def would have loved more between Hollis & Jack! Would recommend if you’re in the mood for a comfort book with beach vibes, drama, & nostalgic feelings that take you back to the good ole days with your girls🫶💃🏼✨

All of Elin Hilderbrand's books are easy reads and always have twists and turns. I enjoy the Nantucket vibe and getting to know the characters as they appear in follow up stories.
