A NEW STREAMING SERIES NOW ON SKY, STARRING JENNIFER GARNER, REGINA HALL, CHLOE SEVIGNY, GEMMA CHAN AND D'ARCY CARDEN. 'Elin Hilderbrand is the gold standard for beach reads'EMILY HENRYEscape to Nantucket for delicious drama, sizzling secrets, and one unforgettable weekend . . . Hollis Shaw, creator of the popular food blog Hungry with Hollis, finds her life turned upside down when her heart-surgeon husband is killed in a car accident on a snowy February morning. As Hollis searches for comfort, she discovers the idea of the 'Five Star Weekend': a gathering of the best friends from each stage of your life. But when Hollis decides to host her own version on Nantucket, the weekend isn't exactly a Hallmark movie . . . First, there's Tatum, Hollis's best friend growing up on Nantucket - and her husband's best friend, Jack, who just happens to be Hollis's first love. Then there's Dru-ann, her best friend from college, now a prominent Black female sports agent in Chicago, whose Twitter comments have just landed her - and her marriage - in hot water. Brooke is the best friend who helped raise her kids with Hollis during their thirties, until she was ousted from the local mum's group by Electra, self-appointed queen bee. But Brooke and Electra are finally meeting up to make amends this weekend . . . And lastly, Gigi, who reached out to Hollis on her food blog to become 'internet besties', but has never met her in real life. All the weekend needs is Hollis's daughter Caroline, a documentary student, who wants to film the entire party. But as the cracks in Hollis's perfect life and her relationship with Caroline start to show, it soon becomes clear this will be a weekend like no other . . . This unforgettable page-turner about friendship, love, and self-discovery will have you hooked. Perfect for fans of Barbara O'Neal, Marian Keyes and The Wedding People!
