The Five-Star Weekend

Everyone can find some common characteristics in this story and its characters. It is a fun story about women relationships along with menus and music. This is such a fun beach or vacation read!! It leaves you wanting to know more!

Hello old friend! Elin Hilderbrand is my favorite summer-easy-enjoyable-escape-beach-read author. I have rarely not loved the characters and storylines and The Five Star Weekend did not disappoint. Hollis and her friends were fun to get to know, interesting and for the most part believable. They could have been my friends. Parts of the story were a little out there but hey whose life isn’t? I enjoyed the Stars and their weekend. I wonder how my own Five Star Weekend would go…

Second EH book I’ve read. The familiarity of the characters was comforting which I imagine gets more profound with every EH book. If only I had the resources to throw such an extravagant weekend for my girlfriends- read with envy (pun intended). Started out emotional- came back full circle. Good read!

This book was such a pleasant surprise. I went into it blind and had preconceived ideas about what it was about from the title. It was nothing like my assumptions (thank goodness)! It had all the feels - friendship trials, tribulations and reconciliations. It had vulnerability, self reflection and good times without being cheesy. All in all, a good read. I will definitely be reading another by this author.

So, I thought it wrapped up too prettily and not at all realistic. So much fabulousness, but lack of substance.
