![]() ![]() “It’s Nantucket wedding season, also known as summer-the sight of a bride racing down Main Street is as common as the sun setting at Madaket Beach. I loved it so much I knew I needed a hard copy for my shelf and came through when it was one of the June add-ons! And how perfect does it look with this adorable cookie I found at today? □□ All in all, this was just the perfect easy and engaging read! It had enough depth to not feel like total fluff, and the food descriptions and amazing summer vacation location just made it so incredibly fun to read. I even loved the paranormal element which I wasn’t sure about at first! □ ![]() It has a large cast of characters who all have their own storylines but also all intertwine. I read The Hotel Nantucket back in April and it made for the perfect spring vacation read! I am a big fan of author ElinHilderbrand’s older books and this one brought me right back ! I enjoyed that it featured the hospitality industry, much like The Blue Bistro did…which is my favorite Elin book! □ ![]()
