The Hotel Nantucket
by
by
3.5
Having grown up on the East coast, I’ve dreamed of a Nantucket vacation. Maybe someday.
In the meantime, there’s always Elin Hilderbrand’s popular novels which are often set at this idyllic and iconic summer getaway. Recently featured in a NY Times article, the author’s annual chick’s getaway to Nantucket sells out year after year. Readers are introduced to the real businesses and buildings that have inspired Hilderbrand’s storylines.
Overall, this was my idea of a light, beach read! But the “ghost” storyline was just annoying at times — awkwardly inserted into everyone else’s story arcs.
Still, I can see why the ladies gobble these books up— charming with multiple happy endings!!

Bummer. Sounds like a perfect happy beach read ruined by an annoying ghost. Fair review Heidi

I didn’t get past the first chapter. Lol. I’ll leave it to the girls who go up on that trip.
Terrific review Heidi! I enjoy her beach reads too... from time to time. 🏖️😎
I don't think I've ever read a beach read with a ghost lol, Heidi :)) Lovely review! :)
Great summary of my reading experience Federico!! 🤓😎
Anne— I’ll admit that I was super tempted to DNF but my interest in Nantucket kept me reading!!
Thanks Kay— I’ll give her another chance the next time at actually at a beach… lol
I get those beach reads Heidi. Great review 💖
"I can see why the ladies gobble these books up— charming with multiple happy endings!!" - I am honestly not in this category, but in a strange irony, your words make me want to try this book. The ghost narrator sounds fun to my ears! All this while, I have been dismissing it as yet another typical beach read. 😃
If you do try this one, I look forward to your review Rosh… for some readers, the ghost story mad it one of their faves. 😎
Great review, Heidi! I still need to read one of her books. 😄
Sheesh. . . how nice does a warm vacay on the beach sound right about now?!
I’d take any kind of beach right about now Julie!!
I want to go to Nantucket too someday! Great review. Glad it hit the spot.
Fantastic review, Heidi! I would love to go to Nantucket one day too. I am glad this was a pretty good, if somewhat annoying, beach read!
Lovely review, Heidi! I hope you get your Nantucket vacation someday. 😊💖
Thanks Kat… me too… lol.🌞🩴👙🕶️🐢🪸
Nice review, Heidi! Shame about the ghost storyline, but at least it had a happy ending!
Yeah this one was not for me DNF
Just curious Anne— was it the ghost?
