More Like 3 and ½ Stars!

Elin Hilderbrand is one of my favorite authors and The Hotel Nantucket was one of my most anticipated reads of 2022. That being said- Thank you so so much NetGalley and Hachette Audio for my advanced copy.

What I enjoyed-

*The Audio- This is an audiobook so lets start here. The Hotel Nantucket is narrated by Erin Bennett.
Erin has a huge back list of audio titles. She has narrated quite a few of Elin's books. She always does a phenomenal job. Highly recommend the audio for this one.

*The Setting- Love Nantucket. I've never personally been there but Elin makes me feel like a local when reading her novels.

*The Multiple POV's - I loved making the rounds. Meeting the locals and the hotel guests. I think Grace would have to be my favorite. (She's the hotel ghost) Her POV was very unique.

Why This Book Lost Stars-

I hate this part of the review.
As much as I loved the POV's and jumping around to the many characters- I feel as though I didn't get to spend enough time with any of them to form an attachment. I wanted to feel something. To root for someone.
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't bored.
This one just didn't hold the same magic as say: 28 Summers or Summer of 69.
For me personally.

Overall- Still recommend. I will continue to read Elin's books and look forward to all of her future releases.

THE beach read or listen of 2022. We find Lizbet Keaton starting over with a new job as manager of the newly restored Hotel Nantucket, trying to prove herself to the hotel’s owner, Xavier Darling. Years ago, the hotel was the Gilded Era place to be and be seen, but the mysterious fire that killed chambermaid, Grace, was the beginning of the end for the grande dame. Now, resurrected to her former glory, the hotel still has a bit of an image problem, not to mention the ghost of Grace roaming the halls. A glitzy summer read about how the other half lives

A wonderful describtions of the place, I would love to be there. Live there would be a challege. It was interesting but so many characters that was a little too much unfortunately. And the paranormal thing did not work for me at all. I am not a fantasy dreamer so I am sorry for this wonderful told story but did not worked for me, I belive for many will be.

Thank you Hachette Audio and Netgalley for this Audio copy
