Nantucket Book Partners also has a page of what they call “ELINbrand” merchandise, with everything from water bottles to hats, to Christmas ornaments. Writing for “The TODAY Show,” fellow author Brad Thor called it “one of Elin’s best books ever.” It’s a good reminder that Hilderbrand is not just an author with a loyal reader following, but those who review books as well.Ĭan we talk for a second about her loyal following? Often known as “Hilderbabes,” Hilderbrand has such a loyal following that she has hosted the “Elin Hilderbrand Bucket List Weekend,” which is just what it sounds like - a weekend trip to Nantucket to meet and spend time with Hilderbrand, hosted by The Nantucket Hotel (which was also the inspiration for “The Hotel Nantucket”). “The Hotel Nantucket” earned praise from USA Today, “The TODAY Show,” the New York Post, and Kirkus Reviews, which called it a “tour de force” - high praise from the notoriously cranky reviewer. Not to mention the fact that the reason Lizbet needs a fresh start is because of a bad breakup, and her romantic life now is anything but steady. But while the hotel has a celebrity chef and a fabulous wellness center, it also has a ghost of a former chambermaid who died in a 1922 fire haunting its halls, a staff with an equally complicated history, and a building that is not totally up to par. In it, protagonist Lizbet is seeking a fresh start and finds it in becoming the general manager of the titular hotel. Many of her book’s protagonists are the same way, and “The Hotel Nantucket” is no exception.
