Welcome to Litsy!

The historic Nantucket Hotel has been through a lot, including the fire of 1922 in which Grace (now a spirit) Hadley, a 19 yo chamber maid, perished. With the financial backing of a British billionaire, the hotel is up and running again, with all new personnel. A ghost plus interpersonal drama behind the scenes add up to a good story.

Quick blurb will review later- but this was a great read! I love a good ghost story and the setting was described so perfectly I could truly envision it in my mind!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great, light palate cleanser after some harder books. Follows the stories of the staff of a newly renovated hotel over their first summer season as they attempt to get an elusive “5 key” review from an anonymous online travel blogger. The characters had more depth than I expected from a beachy read. Definitely enjoyed.

This book had a bit of everything I love. Mystery, scandal, a beautiful setting, likable characters, and even a ghost! It inspired me to visit Nantucket someday, where some of the establishments told of in the book actually exist. This story had a nice ending. This is the second book I‘ve read by this author. I intend to read more.

My hands down favorite read last week 💙

Book 18

A secretive owner buys and remodels the Hotel Nantucket, a rundown, allegedly haunted, island landmark, setting the staff to chasing a perfect review from an elusive, undercover hotel critic. The Hotel novel is a slow-burn that comes together satisfyingly-well. With time, the plethora of characters, including the ghost, become dynamic and endearing. I would read season two if Hilderbrand were to make it a series. 3.75 ⭐️s

Elin Hilderbrand is one of my favorites. I just read her newest book…it didn‘t disappoint!

This was a fun beach read,a little romance, some mystery and a wonderful cast of characters I could could see the story continuing that would be fun!

This book is one of those books packed with characters going from one event or conflict to another without diving in too deep. The Pick rating is with the caveat that it is read on vacation.

Criticizing the plot of a Elin Hilderbrand novel is like being mean to a puppy. It‘s hard to do. You know what you get in her books - the ultimate beach read where you can put your brain on hold and just go with it. In this book the Hotel Nantucket is being renovated by a man with buckets of money. Lizbet Keaton is the general manager. Misunderstandings, romance, lies. Have fun. If you can‘t take a vacation this summer, your brain can.

I love the heat and a (literary) summer romp in the hammock. Maiden voyage tonight at last. 🔥

If I must go into the office, I can enjoy the outdoors for lunch. The ants, not so much lol. 🐜

I think it's time to give up on Elin Hilderbrand. Her last couple of books, for me, were so mundane. The characters are shallow, the storylines are predictable, and it feels like I'm reading the same book over and over again. Hotel Nantucket was no different, I'm not sure what the overall theme was supposed to be in this book, other than describing the lives of the people who run a hotel. And what was with all the parentheses??

Waiting room reading…
