Synopsis

A summer wedding stirs up trouble on both sides of the family in this beloved bestseller from "the queen of the summer novel" (People).

The Carmichaels and the Grahams have gathered on Nantucket for a happy occasion: a wedding that will unite their two families. Plans are being made according to the wishes of the bride's late mother, who left behind The Notebook: specific instructions for every detail of her youngest daughter's future nuptials. Everything should be falling into place for the beautiful event -- but in reality, things are falling apart.

While the couple-to-be are quite happy, their loved ones find their lives crumbling. In the days leading up to the wedding, love will be questioned, scandals will arise, and hearts will be broken and healed. Elin Hilderbrand takes readers on a touching journey in Beautiful Day -- into the heart of marriage, what it means to be faithful, and how we choose to honor our commitments.

About this title

Review:

A wedding readers won't be able to resist crashing. (Kirkus)

Takes the chick-lit trope of reclaimed friendship and updates it with a timely twist . . . Hilderbrand throws in a handful of plot twists that bounce the story along . . . SILVER GIRL [is] the kind of safe investment beachgoers should adore (Boston Globe)

It provides a pacey read, with colourful characters that have fascinating motivations. I couldn't get them out of my head for days (Sunday Express on SILVER GIRL)

So deliciously addictive that it will be the 'It' beach book of the summer (Kirkus Review on THE ISLAND)

An honest, raw tale of friendship and love (Cosmopolitan on THE CASTAWAYS)

This book was a great read - you really care what happens to the characters. Perfect holiday reading. I didn't want to put it down (Candis on BAREFOOT)

A gem of a summer read with a glamorous location, elite lifestyle, and Hilderbrand's appealing take on the constant stress that fills the lives of women everywhere (Booklist on A SUMMER AFFAIR)
