The Blue Bistro

With her dazzling new book, Elin Hilderbrand—author of the enthralling Summer People and The Beach Club—invites you to have the ideal vacation.

Adrienne Dealey has been employed by hotels in far-flung tourist villages for the last six years. She's chosen to move to Nantucket this summer. Her ex-boyfriend left her completely destitute, and she is anxious to get some quick cash. She worries whether she can make it without any restaurant experience when the attractive Thatcher Smith, owner of the trendiest restaurant on Nantucket, is the only one to give her a job. Adrienne receives a crash education in business from Thatcher, and they click right away. However, there's a mystery surrounding their circumstances: what is it about Fiona, the cook at the Blue Bistro, that draws Thatcher's attention repeatedly? And why is this wildly popular restaurant looking like it's in its last year before permanently closing? Adrienne has to choose whether to open her heart for the first time or to keep moving forward, even in the face of uncertainty.

The Blue Bistro is the ideal summer book, full of cozy Nantucket details, the warmth of desire, and the wind of uncertainty.
