Summer wedding on Nantucket & all its accompanying dramas. Fluffy with heart. Perfect to read in a sunny spot, or when you are longing for one.
I have read all Elin Hilderbrand books and the Surfing Lesson (e-short story as prelude for Beautiful Day). I liked the book as lots of drama revolving around the Notebook which was left at the death of the bride’s mother; however, most of the book was about Margo the sister instead of the bride. I was hoping it would pick up from the Surfing Lesson but it jumped to wedding preparations. I thought the funny parts were about the father and in laws. There was a big build up for the secret from Margo which was not that big in the end. To be honest, I really like her older books better than her newer ones.
Nope. Selfish shallow people. WEIRD premise. Slooooow plot. And really 175,000 for a wedding?!?!?! Lost your damn mind! Gladly DNFd.
Hilderbrand wrote a great summer read. The action takes place over the course of a 4-day weekend in Nantucket where one of the daughters in the family is getting married. Hilderbrand paints a beautiful picture of Nantucket, while also portraying all of the anxiety and joy of a family wedding. Highly recommend...especially for summer reading!!
Beautiful Day by Elin Hildenbrand
Have read the author's other works and love her style, always a good read. This one is also one of those.
The family will be gathering for the wedding on the island. I found so much of this book to be truly funny as to the things that happen.
With that many people from the same family together there is bound to be some mishaps. Jenna's mother had left a note because she had died and wanted the perfect day for her daughter. She wrote down what tie to wear and every little detail. Now to follow it to the letter.
Each chapter begins with a page from the notebook that Jenna's mother Beth, had written-notes on the wedding. Loved hearing of the different relatives relationships with one another, comparing them to my own.
Everything is planned as time goes on everything seems to go wrong. Love laughing and crying with it all.. Loved all the old music that I grew up on.
Lots of characters but it's easy to keep track of who is who. Touching moments of the past life's.
I received this book from Libbio via the author in exchange for my honest review.
