The Five-Star Weekend [B1349]

2023 HCDJ. After tragedy strikes, food blogger Hollis Shaw gathers four friends from different stages in her life to spend an unforgettable weekend on Nantucket. Hollis Shaw's life seems picture-perfect. She's the creator of the popular food blog Hungry with Hollis and is married to Matthew, a dreamy heart surgeon. But after she and Matthew get into a heated argument one snowy morning, he leaves for the airport and is killed in a car accident. The cracks in Hollis's perfect life-her strained marriage and her complicated relationship with her daughter, Caroline-grow deeper.

So when Hollis hears about something called a "Five-Star Weekend"-one woman organizes a trip for her best friend from each phase of her life: her teenage years, her twenties, her thirties, and midlife-she decides to host her own Five-Star Weekend on Nantucket. But the weekend doesn't turn out to be a joyful Hallmark movie. The Five-Star Weekend is a surprising and captivating story about friendship, love, and self-discovery set on Nantucket. It will be a weekend like no other.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "I truly loved everything about this book. Was a great way to end the summer!"; "Best friend drama weekend."; "I just love Elin. I love how women's friendships were the forefront of this novel, instead of romantic or otherwise. I want to do a five-star weekend tooooooo."; "I'm not one for overly emotional girl fiction, so I've avoided this author for a long time. This book was recommended to me, so I decided to give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised! It was a feel-good chick drama, but it was so good and not over the top."
