The Five-Star Weekend

Escape to Nantucket for delicious drama, sizzling secrets, and one unforgettable weekend . . . The perfect summer novel from the New York Times bestselling `queen of beach reads` `Undoubtedly her best yet` - JILL MANSELL Hollis Shaw, creator of the popular food blog Hungry with Hollis, finds her life turned upside down when her heart-surgeon husband is killed in a car accident on a snowy February morning. As Hollis searches for comfort, she discovers the idea of the `Five Star Weekend`: a gathering of the best friends from each stage of your life. But when Hollis decides to host her own version on Nantucket, the weekend isn`t exactly a Hallmark movie... First, there`s Tatum, Hollis`s best friend growing up on Nantucket - and her husband`s best friend, Jack, who just happens to be Hollis`s first love. Then there`s Dru-ann, her best friend from college, now a prominent Black female sports agent in Chicago, whose Twitter comments have just landed her - and her marriage - in hot water. Brooke is the best friend who helped raise her kids with Hollis during their thirties, until she was ousted from the local mum`s group by Electra, self-appointed queen bee. But Brooke and Electra are finally meeting up to make amends this weekend . . . And lastly, Gigi, who reached out to Hollis on her food blog to become `internet besties`, but has never met her in real life. All the weekend needs is Hollis`s daughter Caroline, a documentary student, who wants to film the entire party... What could possibly go wrong? Filled with the emotional depth and trademark cast-of-characters perspective of Hilderbrand`s novels, The Five-Star Weekend promises a story of a remarkable weekend between friends-old and new-like no other. `Elin Hilderbrand is my number one go-to author for sunny escapist reads and she`s writing at the top of her game with this novel - the intricate characterisations, the twists and turns, and the sheer depth of emotion truly make this an unforgettable experience. I`ve adored all her books, but this is undoubtedly her best yet` - JILL MANSELL, Sunday Times bestseller
