This is a good beach read - nothing too serious, a little romance, a little ghost friend. I might revisit this author if I'm looking for something that won't challenge my brain much, which is nice to have handy. The author lives on Nantucket, and I think it's interesting that she has this very privileged look at it because it's too horrendously expensive for like anyone else to visit for research. Really interesting niche that she made for herself. Would be interesting to write about the very normalized fatphobia in here.

Thank you NetGalley and Little, Brown and Company for an electronic advanced reader copy.  The opinions expressed here are mine alone. 

“The Hotel Nantucket” by Elin Hilderbrand is a good summer read - filled with characters seeking new beginnings (some with questionable pasts), a haunted hotel and of course some sizzling romance. As I was reading this novel I found myself rooting for and against various characters and then something would happen and I’d change my mind. There were certainly a variety of twists and turns. It definitely kept me hooked and I had to see how it ended and I’m pleased with how it ended.
