From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Hotel Nantucket: After tragedy strikes, food blogger Hollis Shaw gathers four friends from different stages in her life to spend an unforgettable weekend on Nantucket.

Hollis Shaw’s life seems picture-perfect. She’s the creator of the popular food blog Hungry with Hollis and is married to Matthew, a dreamy heart surgeon. But after she and Matthew get into a heated argument one snowy morning, he leaves for the airport and is killed in a car accident. The cracks in Hollis’s perfect life—her strained marriage and her complicated relationship with her daughter, Caroline—grow deeper.

So when Hollis hears about something called a “Five-Star Weekend”—one woman organizes a trip for her best friend from each phase of her life: her teenage years, her twenties, her thirties, and midlife—she decides to host her own Five-Star Weekend on Nantucket. But the weekend doesn’t turn out to be a joyful Hallmark movie.

The husband of Hollis’s childhood friend Tatum arranges for Hollis’s first love, Jack Finigan, to spend time with them, stirring up old feelings. Meanwhile, Tatum is forced to play nice with abrasive and elitist Dru-Ann, Hollis’s best friend from UNC Chapel Hill. Dru-Ann’s career as a prominent Chicago sports agent is on the line after her comments about a client’s mental health issues are misconstrued online. Brooke, Hollis’s friend from their thirties, has just discovered that her husband is having an inappropriate relationship with a woman at work. Again! And then there’s Gigi, a stranger to everyone (including Hollis) who reached out to Hollis through her blog. Gigi embodies an unusual grace and, as it happens, has many secrets.

The Five-Star Weekend is a surprising and captivating story about friendship, love, and self-discovery set on Nantucket. It will be a weekend like no other.

Product description

Review

Praise for The Five-Star Weekend

"A dreamy Nantucket house party given by a meticulous hostess goes off the rails....The people in her books may screw up, but Hilderbrand always gets it right...Amazing."―Kirkus Reviews (starred)

"...a stunning, sun-drenched mix of romance and women’s fiction...This should become a beach bag staple."―Publisher's Weekly

"Hungry with Hollis is one of the internet’s hottest sites, but when Hollis’s husband dies in a car crash, her peppy posting flags. To cheer herself up, she curates the perfect house party with five close friends. Well, four close friends—and one follower she’s made a special connection with. Wait till she finds out just how special their connection is. If you aren’t already addicted to Hilderbrand’s Nantucket novels, there’s no time like the present."―Oprah Daily

“Hilderbrand's latest is dripping with her signature Nantucket details; the food descriptions alone are enough to get readers to book the next ferry. Readers will be transported both by the setting and the emotional drama as Hilderbrand sets up seemingly impossible odds, then manages a convincing happy ending…It's not officially summer without a novel from Hilderbrand, and she delivers exactly what her readers want—female friendship, family drama, and gorgeous descriptions of Nantucket.”
 
 ―Booklist

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best
Reviewed in Canada on October 8, 2023

I love most of EH books..This book lacked that certain spark. I find that the whole Electra/highschool drama bore storyline was just put in as a filler. It was totally unnecessary. I really wanted to love this book, but I felt like I was reading about The Real Housewives of Nantuket, but with a teenage cast. Not a fan. I did like the playlists though, and the food descriptions were heavenly!

This book kept me engrossed & the author develops the various characters well. My being from the Atlantic, now living by the Pacific, reading books with East Coast settings feels like “home”. I am already looking for the next E. H. book to take with me on my trip back to the homeland! (I did NOT like Emily Henry’s latest: ‘Happy Place’ at all!). ‘The Five-Star Weekend’ is a much better read.

"Five Star Weekend" is an enjoyable, easy-to-read novel about friendships and relationships. The story follows an influencer who brings friends from different periods of her life (plus a stranger who follows her online) together for a weekend at her Nantucket home. As expected, there's some drama and a big surprise. The characters are relatable and the unique storyline and unexpected ending keeps you hooked. It's perfect for a relaxing weekend.

A totally boring book with an absolutely implausible story. A bunch of middle-aged women acting like high school kids having Instagram likes as their only direction in life. To say that this book is shallow would be praising it too much
