Honestly, the first chapter almost made me put the book down entirely. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get a pulse on the narration, it was almost like Bridgerton's Lady Whistledown, but add in an "I relate to the youths" vibe with references to emojis and memes?? But as I was on a plane and desperate for reading material, I powered through, and I'm really glad I did. There was still some more funky decision making, like taking liberties with ghost logic... she can interact with her environment (okay) and put on clothes laying around (sure) but then those clothes subsequently become invisible too? But can also be rematerialized? What?? Thankfully other than that, the book was really solid (and for the most part returned to a more traditional narration style sticking to one characters POV at a time). I was rooting for all the characters and am definitely left wanting to take a luxurious vacation. And, ultimately the funkiness made sense with the general personality of the story. Very much a beach-read and I wouldn't shy away from reading another by the same author.

There is news going around Nantucket that a British billionaire has bought the Hotel Nantucket. The hotel is notorious for being haunted or cursed and nobody has been able to make it successful. Billionaire, Xavier Darling, is determined to make it the best hotel in the world. He buys the hotel and hires a general manager without ever stepping foot on Nantucket. The new manager, Lizbet Keaton, is just getting over a break up and is determined to make this hotel her comeback. She interviews a great group of people to work in the hotel doing various jobs. Each person has their own struggles and part to play. Also, of course, there’s the ghost. Grace Hadley was killed one hundred years ago in the hotel and just wants someone to acknowledge that. All these years, she’s been haunting the various guests and owners in hopes that someone will uncover the truth about her death and set her free. She finally gets her chance. With the hotel in the spotlight and so many new people coming in, will someone ever discover her murder?

I really loved this one. I think it might be my new favorite of hers! Each of the characters’ backstories were so intriguing and they all grew so much during the book. I especially loved Lizbet, Edie, and Chad. They were such wholesome, kind people that I would really like to get to know. While there were some parts that I didn’t really love (the ghost, and the thing with Richie) the rest was so good it makes up for it. As always, I loved the setting. These books make me want to visit Nantucket so bad! The imagery used to describe the hotel was amazing and so descriptive. I felt like I was truly there. I didn’t really see the point in the hotel ghost. I think the book would honestly have been better without the supernatural element, but I still really liked it!
