Elin Hilderbrand

"The queen of beach reads" (New York Magazine) and #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers an immensely satisfying page-turner in this tale about a summer of scandal at a storied Nantucket hotel. Fresh off a bad breakup with a longtime boyfriend, Nantucket sweetheart Lizbet Keaton is desperately seeking a second act. When she's named the new general manager of the Hotel Nantucket, a once Gilded Age gem turned abandoned eyesore, she hopes that her local expertise and charismatic staff can win the favor of their new London billionaire owner, Xavier Darling, as well as that of Shelly Carpenter, the wildly popular Instagram tastemaker who can help put them back on the map. And while the Hotel Nantucket appears to be a blissful paradise, complete with a celebrity chef-run restaurant and an idyllic wellness center, there's a lot of drama behind closed doors. The staff (and guests) have complicated pasts, and the hotel can't seem to overcome the bad reputation it earned in 1922 when a tragic fire killed nineteen-year-old chambermaid Grace Hadley. With Grace gleefully haunting the halls, a staff harboring all kinds of secrets, and Lizbet's own romantic uncertainty, is the Hotel Nantucket destined for success or doom? Filled with the emotional depth and multiple points of view that characterize Hilderbrand's novels (The Blue Bistro, Golden Girl) as well as an added dash of Roaring Twenties history, The Hotel Nantucket offers something for everyone in this compelling summer drama.

Sabrina

"It's a fun read that kept my interest. There's even a ghost at the hotel! If you enjoy books that are the opposite of doom and gloom, this is for you. "

Judy

"Loved the ghost POV. Cute book "

Tessalyn Hisey

"I absolutely adored this book. From the use of the pronoun “we” to introduce the town and the groupthink dynamic to the excellent characterization of each individual, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of reading this book. The end was perfectly satisfying. This book truly embodied what summer feels like: the new people you meet, the fun you have, the end of an era, and the hope for a good time next year. I wish I could read this again for the first time. I’m sure when I read it again, though, it’ll feel like coming back home. "

Lauren Fahrner

"This is not her best work but it was still an enjoyable read. I feel like it lacked something from Hilderbrand but I cannot explain what it lacked. I did listen to the book on audible. The ghost addition to the story is a bit odd but somewhat cute also. "
