There’s a reason Elin Hilderbrand has set nearly 30 novels on Nantucket. The island has a way of slowing life down. Long dinners stretch into sunset, bike rides end at the beach, and friends reconnect over fresh seafood and glasses of rosé.
That slower pace is at the heart of The Five-Star Weekend, Hilderbrand’s bestselling novel that has now been adapted into a Peacock series starring Jennifer Garner as food influencer Hollis Shaw.
