A Summer Affair
A Summer Affair: A Novel | Elin Hilderbrand
9 posts | 40 read | 8 to read
Claire Danner Crispin, mother of four young children and nationally renowned glassblower, bites off more than she can chew when she agrees to co-chair the Nantucket's Children Summer Gala. Claire is asked to chair the benefit, in part, because she is the former high school sweetheart of rock star Max West. Max agrees to play the gala and it looks like smooth sailing for Claire-until she promises a "museum-quality" piece of glass for the auction, offers her best friend the catering job, goes nose-to-nose with her Manhattan socialite co-chair, and begins a "good-hearted" affair with the charity's Executive Director, Lockhart Dixon. Hearts break and emotions are pushed to the limit in this riveting story of one woman's attempt to deal with loves past and present, family, business, and high-powered social pressures. Elin Hilderbrand's unique understanding of the joys and longings that animate women's lives will make this her newest summer bestseller.

This was not the Elin Hilderbrand for me. Turns out, I do not like books where the focus is an affair. I did like the parts about the gala, Claire‘s glass blowing, Gavin, and Siobhan but really did not like the Claire/Lock storyline. I would have DNFed if it wasn‘t for the Elin H project.

Quick read during a sleepless night. I knew almost immediately what was going to happen even going in blind to the story but I still enjoyed it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

It took a few years to read down my thrifted EH books while keeping up with her new releases. NowI‘m working down my Libby TBR of her earlier works… There was a phase in my life were it seemed everyone I knew was involved in affairs. Of course I had opinions. So it‘s good to read of fictional affairs where I don‘t react based on my own self-centered desire for what that relationship meant to my life.

Another compelling listen by EH but I pretty much hated all of the main characters, especially the hypocritical mean af best friend of the main character, Claire. Wasn‘t too happy with the ending either. But I still sped through it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3⭐️

When I go to take a book picture, the cats have to join me 😹
I finished my third Elin Hilderbrand book this morning and I didn‘t love this one. The characters were rather annoying and the premise felt a little too over the top for me. At least now I have finished her Nantucket series though! 3/5 ⭐️

I love Elin Hilderbrand but this one was a little slower than her others.
