The Five-Star Weekend

adult book contemporary fantasy fiction novel romance
"The Five-Star Weekend" by Elin Hilderbrand is an engaging tale about friendship, love, and finding oneself, all taking place on Nantucket. It promises a unique and unforgettable weekend.

Hollis Shaw's life seems perfect on the surface. She has a popular food blog, "Hungry with Hollis" and is married to Matthew, a heart surgeon. But their heated argument one snowy morning leads to Matthew's tragic death in a car accident, revealing the cracks in her seemingly ideal life, including her strained marriage and complicated relationship with her daughter, Caroline.

In search of healing and connection, Hollis decides to host a "Five-Star Weekend" on Nantucket, inspired by an idea she heard about. The idea is to gather a best friend from each phase of her life: her teenage years, twenties, thirties, and midlife. However, this weekend doesn't unfold like a cheerful movie.

Tatum, Hollis's childhood friend, arranges for Hollis's first love, Jack Finigan, to join them, stirring up old emotions. Tatum also has to tolerate Dru-Ann, Hollis's college friend, who is dealing with a career crisis. Brooke, Hollis's friend from their thirties, learns her husband is involved with a co-worker again. And there's Gigi, a stranger who reached out to Hollis through her blog and has many secrets. Each of these women brings their own baggage to the weekend.
