The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand- Battle of the Book

Okay, so I finished the last Spine Breaking book a while ago, and I forgot to write the review.  Our next meeting isn't for a couple of weeks. I really hope I don't forget the book by then!

So for July we read Elin Hilderbrand's latest novel The Perfect Couple.  Hilderbrand is the QUEEN of the summer beach read.  It is not summer unless I have a Hilderbrand novel in my hand.  I love the way that she writes so authentically in her own voice while conveying the voices of her multiple characters.  I also love how she gives the Island of Nantucket it's own character perspective and voice.  It's just perfectly well done.

So unlike her other novels, this novel opens up with pure thriller drama.  A body was found in the ocean!  It's very Spine Breaker's-esc. But this body...It was the body of the maid of honor in a wedding that was supposed to happen that very day.  The woman who pulled the body out of the ocean?  That was the bride.  Hildebrand's novel delves into the whodunnit, while exploring family relationships, romantic relationships, life, death, and summertime.  If that doesn't make you want to read this book, I don't know what will.  

I give it 5 out of 5 Sizzling Coffee Beans.

P.S.  My Grandma read this book and LOVED it as well.  She probably gives it 100 and 1/2 Coffee Beans.  I'll have to ask her.  

P.S.S.  I wrote this review maybe a week or two ago and forgot to post it.  

The end.
