“Sharon has become the kind of woman she never understood before—someone who doesn’t need to talk about other people to make her days more interesting because her days are interesting enough as it is.”

I’m not an Elin Hilderbrand completionist but always enjoy her work when I read it. 28 Summers is my favorite. A dear friend visits the Nantucket bookstore each summer so for the last few summers I have wanted to read the latest release so we could talk about it together. Of course I was interested in this summer’s release Swan Song, the finale for her Nantucket series. Don’t you love that title?! This one is about a new couple in town who brings drama and coveted party invitations that get the town regulars acting in “expected” ways. Read this for a fun time and especially if you are familiar with Hilderbrand’s Nantucket characters who each make an appearance. I look forward to a conversation with my friend and to what Hilderbrand will write next. In the meantime I am listening to her podcast and loving it. 😍
