The Five-Star Weekend – Elin Hilderbrand

Following the untimely death of her husband, a famous gourmet food blogger gathers her closest friends from different phases of her life to gather at her home on Nantucket for a weekend of celebration and indulgence.  Each woman arrives with her own drama or worries but attempt to leave the real world behind for the weekend.  What each one realizes is that doing so is easier said than done.

Elin Hilderbrand returns with The Five-Star Weekend, her latest summer beach read set on her home island of Nantucket.  I first came across her work last year, and this outing had a similar vibe.  As a Midwesterner, I never really thought about summering on Nantucket, but thanks to these works I can see the appeal.  If only I had the bank account to swing such a thing.
