Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy character-driven ensemble stories where the messiness of real friendships matters more than neat resolutions.
  • You like books set in aspirational locations (Nantucket, wealthy circles) but grounded in genuine emotional stakes and marital conflict.
  • You appreciate Hilderbrand's mix of beach-read pacing with real grief, regret, and the complicated work of rebuilding after loss.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want a straightforward feel-good story about female friendship without complication or betrayal.
  • You prefer fast-paced plots driven by mystery or suspense rather than the slower burn of interpersonal dynamics.
  • You're looking for a book where the main character has it mostly figured out and teaches others, rather than one where everyone is wrestling with their own problems.

About this book

After her husband Matthew dies in a car accident following a heated argument, food blogger Hollis Shaw confronts the fractures in her seemingly perfect life—her strained marriage and complicated relationship with her daughter Caroline. Inspired by the concept of a "Five-Star Weekend," where one woman organizes a trip with her closest friend from each major life phase, Hollis decides to host her own gathering on Nantucket with friends from her teenage years, twenties, thirties, and midlife. The weekend brings unexpected complications. Hollis's childhood friend Tatum's husband arranges for Hollis's first love, Jack Finigan, to join them, rekindling old feelings. Tatum must navigate tensions with Dru-Ann, Hollis's friend from UNC Chapel Hill, whose career as a Chicago sports agent is threatened after her comments about a client's mental health are misinterpreted online. Brooke, a friend from Hollis's thirties, has just learned her husband is involved in an inappropriate relationship with a coworker. Gigi, a stranger who contacted Hollis through her blog, joins the group and carries hidden secrets. The Five-Star Weekend explores friendship, love, and self-discovery against the backdrop of Nantucket.
