Anything Elin writes is sure to be a gem. 💎 I loved the premise of the “Five-Star Weekend.” Hollis organizes a girls’ weekend at her Nantucket home to include her best friends from each phase of her life: best friend from her teens (Tatum), best friend from her twenties (Dru-Ann), best friend from her “prime of life” (Brooke), and best friend from “midlife” (Gigi). In true Elin fashion, a scandal was revealed just 70 pages in. Oh my! I loved watching the weekend unfold and each woman’s personal growth in just three days time. A solid summer read.
