Becca, Friday night in Brooklyn was the icing on the cake of my book tour. Thank you for doing it and making it so fun. Hit me with your Hallmark titles anywhere, any time! Also I LOVED Musical Chairs, perfect summer beach rec

You are the first person other than me who has The Blue Bistro as their favorite EH book! I think it’s super underrated.

I think—at least as of a few years ago—it was Elin's favorite of hers too!

The fact that you linked an update on Elin Hilderbrand’s podcast and directly following that, a link to Addison Rae’s NYT article…! Thanks for your service

Thank you for those recs! I spend a lot of time outside with my books, and bringing library books can be dicey (I once returned a book and got a note that they found a squished bug in the pages and to kindly pay for the book…). All that to say, (used) backlist buys are my plan for beach reading this year! This is a great jumpstart for me.

So grateful you recommended Musical Chairs previously - I adored it and gobbled up her other books and I’m excited for her newest book out tomorrow! She is a queen of plots that are low stakes but so layered & fascinating.

Yes, that's such a good way to put it! It's a slice of life novel but there's so much tension it feels high stakes!

The Interestings made me fall in love with fiction and will always have a special place in my heart! And I looooved Annabel’s new book. 11/10 exactly what I needed to kickoff summer.

Ahh, so excited for season 2 of Nobody Wants This!!!

Also, I have never read an Elin book, but in a weird coincidence, I JUST added The Blue Bistro to a list of books I need to read as research for my book last night!

Phew - I thought the bottle said "flesh peel" - so relieved it's flash peel! :) I love sundries!
