The Five-Star Weekend by Elin Hilderbrand follows Hollis Shaw, a successful food blogger whose seemingly perfect life shatters when her husband dies in a car accident shortly after a bitter argument. Drowning in grief and facing a strained relationship with her adult daughter, Hollis seizes on the idea of a “five-star weekend,” inviting one close friend from each era of her life—teen years, college, young motherhood, and midlife—to her Nantucket home for a lavish, filmed reunion. Over the course of the trip, simmering tensions, marital troubles, career crises, and long‑buried secrets surface among the women, turning the getaway into a messy but healing examination of friendship, forgiveness, and what it means to start over in midlife without revealing the specific conflicts that erupt or how they are resolved.

Erica’s review

I audiobook'd this one for my Bookclub and I thought it was a great little summer read….then I got to our meetup and everyone else couldn't stand it. 😅 Maybe I was just sucked in because I was listening….. Who knows! I liked it! I loved the mystery behind so much of the story and all of the different characters having to intermingle. I was invested in the story enough. It's not anything brain busting or that will have you melting down but I liked it as a non committal summer read.
