Nilguen's Reviews > The Five-Star Weekend

First of all, I was dying to read a novel by THE Elin Hilderbrand. I was so excited to grab a copy of this book and what can I say? I am not surprised that Hilderbrand is a bestselling author! This novel is a feel-good, heartwarming, engaging, absolutely absorbing story. It made me want to be there!

The story of an eventful weekend is set in Nantucket. I loved the landscape, the breeze of the sea 🌊, the restaurants and pretty much everything about this place. Hilderbrand is describing all locations with so much genuineness as she is a local from Nantucket. I understand that all her novels are set there.

Holly as the main female protagonist is a social media phenomenon with her cooking skills. Upon the deadly accident of her husband, Holly initiates a five-star-weekend at her luxurious house in Nantucket. Five stars refer to five women in their 50’s who have endured the ups and downs in their lives and marriages. Above all, every singe woman is associated with a specific time phase Holly’s life stages. Tatum is her childhood friend, Dru Ann her college friend, Brooke her mom friend and then there is Gigi, whom she befriended on the internet.

Get ready for a weekend with lots of flashbacks, grudges held over years, creation of new memories and lots of fun.

I absolutely loved this novel and will read more of EH’s books.

Easy five stars!
