Here's to Us | Elin Hilderbrand
An emotional, heartwarming story from New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand about a grieving family that finds solace where they least expect it. Celebrity chef Deacon Thorpe has always been a force of nature with an insatiable appetite for life. But after that appetite contributes to Deacon's shocking death in his favorite place on earth, a ramshackle Nantucket summer cottage, his (messy, complicated) family is reeling. Now Deacon's three wives, his children, and his best friend gather on the island he loved to say farewell. The three very different women have long been bitter rivals, each wanting to claim the primary place in Deacon's life and his heart. But as they slowly let go of the resentments they've held onto for years and remember the good times, secrets are revealed, confidences are shared, and improbable bonds are formed as this unlikely family says goodbye to the man who brought them all together, for better or worse--and the women he loved find new ways to love again.

I step into Elin‘s books with pad & paper. She makes me want to understand her entire cast. I‘ve realized that if I map out the relationship between her characters up front, I‘ll enjoy her story more. I really enjoyed reading these three women come together to discover their bonds to each other for each having loved the same man.

Another Elin Hilderbrand novel that did not disappoint. Although this one was a bit lighter than Summer of 69‘ I enjoyed it just as much. One beach cottage, 3 ex-wives, tons of secrets and years of resentment all packaged into a summer weekend. #PopSummer2020 #SummerRomance 🎧♥️

This is the third of Hildebrand‘s books that I have enjoyed in audio version. I picked up on the reference to an event that happened in her book The Rumor. I still have a couple of her books on my TBR shelf. Her books are great for vacation, beach/lake reads. She definitely has a fondness for Nantucket, and I like that she throws in recipes.

This was as expected. Lots of Nantucket scenery and rich white people problems. A basic beach read.

MicrobeMom Funny I never love Elin Hilderbrand‘s book, but yet I have read almost all of them. I think they are an escape for me. 5y
GypsyKat @MicrobeMom Oh they‘re definitely a form of escapism! The main reason I read them is for that beach feeling. 5y

Definitely only a so-so read for me but I felt like that might be a possibility going into it. The plot/storyline wasn‘t terrible but the characters did absolutely nothing for me, at all. Famous chef Deacon Thorpe dies and his 3 wives/children gather at his beloved Nantucket home to say goodbye. You can imagine the drama that ensues but unfortunately none of the characters were enjoyable much less love able. An ok read.

Good little book. Chef Deacon Thorpe dies. His three ex wives & kids gather at family beach house in Nantucket. Lies, tears and drama. Easy to sink into this one. 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Getting another big snow storm here, so reading about beaches and sunshine was a good escape!

I always enjoy Elin hilderbrand, I consider her one of my favorite authors although that list is admittedly long! For some reason, I found this book a little bit more difficult to get into. It just didn't Captivate me like her others. Having said that, the story came together in the last third of the book for me and it did include recipes which is always a bonus (I'll be making at least 1 of them). Still, a decent read and I would recommend it.

Chasing_Pages I plan on reading this next month at the beach. 7y

I always look forward to reading Elin Hilderbrand's books. While I enjoyed Here's to Us, it just lacked a little something that her other books have. It didn't draw me in and leave me as emotionally vested as usual.

Entertaining. Three wives/ex-wives and their children spend the weekend at their recently deceased husband/ex-husband's vacation home and all sorts of drama ensues. I listened to the audiobook while doing stuff around the house. I wouldn't listen to it around kids, though. I'll chalk this one up to a guilty pleasure read

Elin Hilderbrand will never disappoint me with her writing. I've never been to Nantucket. I doubt I'll ever get there. But her ability to make me feel like I've just vacationed there for the last 400 pages is amazing. Add to that her ability to make me feel "all the feels" through each of her characters, and I'm a goner. I will always read her books. I will always do so as soon as they are released. And you should too. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
