Description

In this #1 bestselling page-turner from "the queen of beach reads" (New York Magazine), a Nantucket novelist has one final summer to protect her secrets while her loved ones on earth learn to live without their golden girl.

On a perfect June day, Vivian Howe, author of thirteen beach novels and mother of three nearly grown children, is killed in a hit-and-run car accident while jogging near her home on Nantucket. She ascends to the Beyond where she's assigned to a Person named Martha, who allows Vivi to watch what happens below for one last summer. Vivi also is granted three “nudges” to change the outcome of events on earth, and with her daughter Willa on her third miscarriage, Carson partying until all hours, and Leo currently “off again” with his high-maintenance girlfriend, she’ll have to think carefully where to use them.

From the Beyond, Vivi watches “The Chief” Ed Kapenash investigate her death, but her greatest worry is her final book, which contains a secret from her own youth that could be disastrous for her reputation. But when hidden truths come to light, Vivi’s family will have to sort out their past and present mistakes—with or without a nudge of help from above—while Vivi finally lets them grow without her.

With all of Elin’s trademark beach scenes, mouth-watering meals, and picture-perfect homes, plus a heartfelt message—the people we lose never really leave us—Golden Girl is a beach book unlike any other.

    Couldn’t have all been a dream that she died?
  • One of my favorites of EHild

    It’s a 5 if I’m comparing to normal writers, so I feel like a 5 is fair.

    For EHil, it’s hard for me to rate bc 28 Summers is a clear 5 and cannot be touched. So for her novels, I give it a 4 bc it’s still really, really good. Our favorite characters are back, and because of that, as usual, the novel feels like home. If home was a rich person’s paradise, that is.

    I thoroughly enjoyed it.
  • Made me so yearning for Nantucket

    I’ve been there many times over the years and I miss it so much. The author takes you there and you can almost smell the seabreeze. The characters are heartwarming too, and it’s a great story. I recommend it.
  • One of her best!

    I believe I slipped from life and was plopped smack dab into the middle of Nantucket. Was I actually a character in this book? That’s how enchanting and truly engaging Golden Girl feels. What a wonderful albeit bittersweet vacation that I never wanted to have to leave. Hooray to Summer Girl, for the sunlit glow that never ends.
