Elin Hilderbrand, author of the enchanting The Swan Song and The Five-Star Weekend, invites you to experience the perfect getaway with her sparkling novel, The Blue Bistro.
Adrienne Dealey has spent the past six years working for hotels in exotic resort towns. This summer she has decided to make Nantucket home. Left flat broke by her ex-boyfriend, she is desperate to earn some fast money. When the desirable Thatcher Smith, owner of Nantucket's hottest restaurant, is the only one to offer her a job, she wonders if she can get by with no restaurant experience. Thatcher gives Adrienne a crash course in the business...and they share an instant attraction. But there is a mystery about their situation: What is it about Fiona, the Blue Bistro's chef, that captures Thatcher's attention again and again? And why does such a successful restaurant seem to be in its final season before closing its doors for good? Despite her uncertainty, Adrienne must decide whether to open her heart for the first time, or move on, as she always does.
Infused with intimate Nantucket detail and filled with the warmth of passion and the breeze of doubt, The Blue Bistro is perfect summer reading.

Very good read. You never put it down. You will be buying more and more books on this author.
I feel like I could see it and feel the atmosphere at The Blue Bistro 🌟 On the same note, I just feel like the end was so abrupt. Maybe its just me but it was all so detailed until the end. Now, I'm a new Elin fan so I'm working my way in and it could totally be a style thing that I am not used to. I will say that I adore Elin's ability to describe anything and make it feel real. On to the next!
The star of the book is Nantucket. No other character is likable. The setting of the restaurant was great, but somehow it was boring. The chapters often go into details about the food that doesn’t really sound that spectacular or original.I don’t read a lot of romance, but none of the relationships in this entire book felt the least bit authentic or romantic, to me. Most of them were selfish and destructive. Not what I was expecting.
Such a delicate novel about love, life and a one of a kind island so many of us love! Couldn't put it down...
For me, this book went nowhere very slowly. Not bad, just not very engaging for me. I did enjoy learning about the workings of a fine restaurant since I have no experience in that industry. I've read 4 of Elin's books previously and enjoyed them. This one was just a little disappointing.
