Swan Song
Swan Song | Elin Hilderbrand
17 posts | 21 read | 6 to read
The beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author brings her Nantucket novels to a brilliant finish: when rich strangers move to the island, social mayhem and a possible murder follow. Can Nantuckets best locals save the day, and their way of life? Chief of Police Ed Kapenash is about to retire. Blond Sharon is going through a divorce. But when a 22-million-dollar summer home is purchased by the mysterious Richardsonshow did they make their money, exactly?Ed, Sharon, and everyone in the community are swept up in high drama. The Richardsons throw lavish parties, flirt with multiple locals, flaunt their wealth with not one but two yachts, and raise impossible hopes of everyone they meet. When their house burns to the ground and their most essential employee goes missing, the entire island is up in arms. The last of Elin Hilderbrand's bestselling Nantucket novels, SWAN SONG is a propulsive medley of glittering gatherings, sun-soaked drama, wisdom and heart, featuring the return of some of her most beloved characters, including, most importantly, the beautiful and timeless island of Nantucket itself.

Well, that was aptly named.

I did find the resolution with the Richardsons rushed, a little more on it would have been nice. But otherwise, this was just what I wanted from Hilderbrand‘s last Nantucket novel. Juicy and fun!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Peak Elin Hilderbrand! Her last Nantucket novel (for now) hits all the right juicy summer drama notes. She‘s the reigning queen of the beach read for a reason! I‘ll be really interested to check out the two boarding school novels she‘s writing with her daughter. 🎧

A wonderful swan song of a beach book. I loved reading about all the characters and their individual dramas.

I have officially read all of Elin Hilderbrand‘s books and am sad to hear about her retirement - although I heard a rumor about her writing stories with her daughter now. So, fingers crossed!🤞🏻Swan Song is another juicy beach read and as always, it‘s great to visit Nantucket and see how the other half lives! Lots of little Easter eggs sprinkled throughout for the fans and a good note to go out on. 5⭐️

I just love the covers of summer reads. I chose the tagged to define this grid because of my anticipation for the final EH Nantucket story.

5* = Loved It, want to shout out loud about this book! I do/will own/keep a physical copy. A+
4*= I liked it, would love to discuss. Solid B
3*=Meh, no need to discuss. Avg C
2*=Nope D
1*=DNF F

Megabooks Interested in Swan Song. I'll miss Nantucket!

marleed @Megabooks I thought she did a good job introducing a story with new characters but also providing a satisfying closing for beloved characters! Lucky me, I have 2 old Nantucket paperbacks I saved for reading just to get me over my grief of this final telling. I also haven‘t read her first 3 books and only recently realized that! 5mo

I'm sad. I'm going to miss these people. I'm going to miss Nantucket. But I'm mostly going to miss a reliable summer read from a go to author. Luckily, there a few backlist titles I haven't read yet.

38/62

marleed Same. I have 2 paperbacks that I found in LFLs that I haven‘t read and was saving just so Swan Song wouldn‘t be read with utter sadness for the last of its kind. I‘ve also yet to read her first 3 books that I understand were published by a different publisher. 5mo
TheBookgeekFrau @marleed The first three are also ones I still need to read. I remember being annoyed that b&n and borders never had them. But different publisher makes sense. 5mo

Honestly, I was expecting this last book (😿😭) in EH‘s world of Nantucket to read like a long epilogue of beloved characters. I would have been okay with that - these are my close, personal friends, after all. But there‘s also story here with a new characters that I‘d love to continue following as the millennials and gen-Zs we read grow up make their way back home to Nantucket.

AnnCrystal Yikes, after that many books, it is extra rough to read the final 📚🫂💝. 5mo

Happy Sunday! Enjoying some deck time with the latest summer read. I love that BOTM has early releases occasionally. And also enjoying simple instapot made yogurt. I have been making it weekly and it is a great protein boost (hello midlife) and very fresh tasting. My dad worked in a dairy my entire childhood, so a nod to him. Obv I‘m taking the easy way out. ☺️

Guess who got her hot little hands on an #ARC of Elin‘s last book (sob)?! Soooooo excited. I‘ll be up all night reading.

marleed I sure hope she succumbs to reader fandom and revisits Nantucket in the future. Her people are my close personal friends! 7mo
LMJenkins @marleed, I feel the same. 7mo
