Description

From the bestselling author of *The Hotel Nantucket* comes a compelling story about friendship, love, and second chances.

Hollis Shaw appears to have the perfect life. She’s the creator of the successful food blog *Hungry with Hollis* and is married to Matthew, a charming and accomplished heart surgeon. But everything shatters when a heated argument one winter morning ends with Matthew leaving for the airport—only to be killed in a tragic car accident. As Hollis struggles with her fractured marriage in hindsight and her strained relationship with her daughter, Caroline, she stumbles upon the idea of a *Five-Star Weekend*. The concept is simple: one woman invites her closest friends from different stages of her life—her teenage years, her twenties, her thirties, and midlife—for an unforgettable getaway. Excited by the idea, Hollis decides to host her own *Five-Star Weekend* on Nantucket.

However, what should be a joyous escape takes an unexpected turn. Tatum, Hollis’s childhood best friend, is stunned when her husband arranges for Jack Finigan—Hollis’s first love—to join them, rekindling old emotions. Tatum also finds herself clashing with Dru-Ann, Hollis’s closest friend from college. A high-powered Chicago sports agent, Dru-Ann is facing backlash over comments she made about a client’s mental health, putting her career at risk. Meanwhile, Brooke, Hollis’s friend from her thirties, is reeling from the discovery that her husband has once again formed an inappropriate connection with a colleague. And then there’s Gigi—a woman who is a mystery to everyone, including Hollis herself. Gigi reached out through Hollis’s blog, and though she’s a newcomer to the group, she carries a quiet strength and surprising secrets of her own.

Set against the beautiful backdrop of Nantucket, *The Five-Star Weekend* is a heartwarming, emotional, and unpredictable story of self-discovery, lifelong bonds, and the power of reconnecting with the people who shape our lives. This will be a weekend no one will forget.
