The Five Star Weekend

What it’s about

Hollis Shaw, a celebrated food blogger, is shattered by her husband's sudden death and a very public breakdown. Beneath her flawless recipes and sunny persona, her marriage was strained, her bond with her daughter is fraught, and she craves validation from her followers. To cope, she invites three friends from distinct phases of her life—childhood, her twenties, and her thirties—to her Nantucket home, along with an unexpected fifth guest. Over the course of the elaborate getaway, the women confront long-held tensions and buried secrets.
