The Beach Club

By Elin Hilderbrand

Book Overview

In Elin Hilderbrand's The Beach Club, a series of personal dramas are played out during one summer at a Nantucket Beach Club. It's about the love of summer, summer love, and the special feelings we all have for that special summer place--in this case, a hotel and an island.

Mack Petersen, manager of the hotel, has been working at The Beach Club for 12 summers. Only this summer is different. His boss, the owner of the hotel, Bill Elliot, shows up in the spring with a new set of demands. His girlfriend Maribel is pressing Mack to get married and Vance, the African-American bellman, who has hated Mack since the day Mack stole his job 12 years ago, threatens him in a deadly scene. Mack knows something's got to give.

Love O'Donnell, the new front desk person straight from the slopes of Aspen, is desperately searching for a stranger to father her child. The bellman, Jem Crandall, who posed as Mr. November in his college calendar, is on his way to LA to break into agenting, until he falls in love with Maribel. Emotions are at a peak when a hurricane threatens to wash away The Beach Club and all it stands for.

An engrossing, sexy novel that will sweep you away to the beach any time of the year.

A page turner

Hard to put down. Interesting story line with likable and complex characters.

A Great Summer Read!

This book was my first read by Ms. Hilderbrand, and I am hooked! I love her writing style, her story kept me captivated the entire story, I even stayed up until 1am finishing The Beach Club, wanting to find out what happens between Mack and Maribel, Jem, Love and Vance. I loved all the characters equally, and was happy to see Maribel find happiness in the end, as well as Mack find his place. The book was a great read! ...
