The Five-Star Weekend

From The Hotel Nantucket's #1 New York Times bestselling author

Following a tragic event, Hollis Shaw gets together with four friends from all phases of her life to enjoy a memorable weekend on Nantucket.

Hollis Shaw seemed to have the ideal existence. She is married to Matthew, a gorgeous cardiac surgeon, and is the founder of the well-known culinary blog Hungry with Hollis. But one winter morning, after a furious disagreement between her and Matthew, he goes for the airport and is tragically murdered in an automobile accident. Deeper fissures appear in Hollis's seemingly flawless life, including her troubled marriage and complex bond with her daughter Caroline.

So when Hollis hears about something called a “Five-Star Weekend”—one woman organizes a trip for her best friend from each phase of her life: her teenage years, her twenties, her thirties, and midlife—she decides to host her own Five-Star Weekend on Nantucket. However, the weekend doesn't end up being a happy Hallmark film.

In an attempt to rekindle old emotions, Hollis's first love, Jack Finigan, is brought to see them by Tatum, her childhood friend's husband. Tatum, meantime, finds himself obliged to make nice with Hollis's closest friend from UNC Chapel Hill, Dru-Ann, who is unpleasant and snobbish. Dru-Ann's reputation as a well-known sports agent in Chicago is in jeopardy due to internet misinterpretation of her remarks on a client's mental health problems. The thirty-year-old friend of Hollis's, Brooke, just learned that her husband is inappropriately involved with a lady at work. Once more! And then there's Gigi, who contacted Hollis via her blog despite being unknown to both of them. In addition to possessing an uncommon elegance, Gigi unfortunately has a lot of secrets.

Set on Nantucket, The Five-Star Weekend is an unexpected and engrossing tale of friendship, love, and self-discovery. This weekend will be unlike any other.
