The Rumor
Couldn't load pickup availability
A friendship is tested in this "thrilling" page-turner from New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand (Us Weekly).
Madeline King and Grace Pancik are best friends and the envy of Nantucket for their perfect marriages, their beautiful kids, their Saturday night double dates with their devoted husbands. But this summer, something's changed, and if there's anything Nantucket likes better than cocktails on the beach at sunset, it's a good rumor.
And rumor has it... that Madeline, a novelist, is battling writer's block, with a deadline looming, bills piling up, and blank pages driving her to desperation -- and a desperately bad decision; and that Grace, hard at work to transform her backyard into a garden paradise, has been collaborating a bit more closely than necessary with her ruggedly handsome landscape architect.
As the gossip escalates, and they have the possible loss of the happy lives they've worked so hard to create, Grace and Madeline try mightily to set the record straight -- but the truth might be even worse than rumor has it.

It had everything, marriage, friendship, family drama. I couldn't stop reading it. I feel this way about all of Elin's books though.
I love all of Elin's books, this was a great read.
Alin Hilderbrand writes the best books! Her stories about Nantucket are captivating, beautifully written, and so enjoyable to read. I always feel like I’m right there on the island with her characters. Highly recommend her books to anyone who loves heartfelt, well-crafted stories. Can’t wait to read more!
Queen of Nantucket Writing📚 Elin Hildebrand. Reading a story of hers - brings the Sun☀ shinning out above you wherever you are. You'll feel like so most seaside cocktails out, sand is nearby, you're sure you hear the waves not local traffic as you relax and read of these flawed friends their tween kids & husbands.Thrilled to go back to to you trusted family😂😅💗It's about Best Friends Madeline & Grace and what's perhaps 'really' going on in their lives when little thing's begin to occur that are seen by ... You know "snoopy nosey others" 🙄 then they tell someone-who tells someone tho a smidge different🙄and so on and so on and so on.. The Rumors actually.Madeline King- is an Author with 1 book. Working on 2nd with bad writers block, already spent most of the advance-uh oh. Rented an apt to have quite to write although she not writing. She may be going to do something terrible because she has a deadline looming, and may take sensitive secret for her story.Husband Trevor is an airline pilot with an independent airline and he supports her writing.Son Brick going out with 1 of best friend Grace's twin daughters Allegra, tho it's doesn't look like a fantastic relationship.Grace Pancik- Socialite, overwhelming fixated on redesigning her backyard Garden making it a paradise🌹.Husband- Eddie, realtor know in Nantucket called 'fast Eddie' likes to live the High Life although secretly he is in Huge debt Big time. .Looking for a way to find a way to make a bit of side $ money.They have Twin daughters tweens Hope and Allegra. Both totally different in every way. Fascinating. They look alike tho.
