Before Elin Hildebrand became the bestselling author behind The Perfect Couple and The Five-Star Weekend, she was a teenager dreaming of getting her magical summers back. Now she shares those magical summers with thousands of readers.
In this episode, Elin shares the incredible story of how she built a literary empire around Nantucket, why female friendships fascinate her, and how Hollywood finally discovered her books after years of success. We discuss Jennifer Garner's upcoming adaptation of The Five-Star Weekend, the lasting appeal of beach reads, friendship across every season of life, and the books Elin thinks everyone should pack this summer.
