The Five-Star Weekend by Elin Hilderbrand
Fiction

What’s it about:  “The Five-Star Weekend [is] a story of friendship, self-discovery, and forgiveness—all set against an idyllic Nantucket background and bursting with glorious food descriptions. Hollis Shaw is the creator of the popular food blog Hungry with Hollis—think Ina Garten, but online. After her husband dies in a car accident, Hollis’ (alleged) domestic perfection crumbles, and she plans a girls-only weekend at her Nantucket beach house. Cue the chardonnay, secrets, and Lilly Pulitzer. While this book could easily fall into the predictable, this fresh and diverse cast of characters keeps the reader on their toes until the very end. Bring on all the five-star puns, because Hilderbrand’s latest delivers” (Sarah Gelman, Amazon Editor).

Reviewers say: "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).
