The Classic
Barefoot
I mean, all of Elin’s novels have her classic elements: drama, romance, family and allll of the Nantucket and food details, but you can’t go wrong with BAREFOOT, during which three women arrive on Nantucket for a relaxing summer to avoid their tumultuous personal lives, only to find their lives intertwined with that of a 22-year-old boy.
Thriller What could spice up a Nantucket wedding story more than a body washing up on shore? In THE PERFECT COUPLE, Hilderbrand deftly combines her signature detail-oriented writing style with an absolutely page-turning plot, with twists that would shock even the most seasoned of thriller readers.

GOLDEN GIRL (out June 1) seems like Elin’s most personal & inventive novel yet. Inspired by her own life and career, a Nantucket novelist known for her beach reads is killed in a hit and run, where she enters a purgatory and is given the chance to alter three outcomes on Earth.

Summer of ‘69
Bryan Adams sang that the SUMMER OF ‘69 “was the best days of my life” and I think Elin would agree. Written as a fiftieth birthday present to her twin brother, she kicks it old-school in this novel that includes events like the moon landing and Chappaquiddick. Bonus: each chapter is a song title, making for the perfect reading playlist!
