A review by lindiemcelroy
Beautiful Day by Elin Hilderbrand

4.0

From the inside cover of book: Jenna has planned her wedding according to the wishes of her late mother, who left behind the Notebook: specific instructions for ever detail of her youngest daughter's future nuptials. Everything should be falling into place for the beautiful Nantucket wedding that will unite the Carmichael and Graham families-but instead, things are falling apart. If only Jenna's mother had left directions for what to do about divorce, affairs, and other matters of the heart.

I picked up this book because I wanted something nice and light to read. I got it. This was a fun book where I laughed out loud a few times and almost teared up at other times. I guess that's what happens at weddings, right? Elin Hilderbrand did a great job writing this cast of characters. Usually I'm overwhelmed if there are too many characters in a story, but the way she wrote each person, and wrote "outtakes" and gave back stories, was perfectly done.
I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting a fun, beach read! I'll definitely read more from this author!
