Summary
A friendship is tested in this "thrilling" page-turner from New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand (Us Weekly).

Madeline King and Grace Pancik are best friends and the envy of Nantucket for their perfect marriages, their beautiful kids, their Saturday night double dates with their devoted husbands. But this summer, something's changed, and if there's anything Nantucket likes better than cocktails on the beach at sunset, it's a good rumor. 

And rumor has it... that Madeline, a novelist, is battling writer's block, with a deadline looming, bills piling up, and blank pages driving her to desperation — and a desperately bad decision; and that Grace, hard at work to transform her backyard into a garden paradise, has been collaborating a bit more closely than necessary with her ruggedly handsome landscape architect. 

As the gossip escalates, and they have the possible loss of the happy lives they've worked so hard to create, Grace and Madeline try mightily to set the record straight — but the truth might be even worse than rumor has it. 

Please enjoy a sneak peek of Swan Song by Elin Hilderbrand and read by Erin Bennett at the end of this program.

This is my fourth Elin Hilderbrand book I have listened to. I can honestly say I she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I did enjoy this book however, her other stories are better. It was a little slow for me and some of the characters were hard to get into. Overall, you should listen but have a open mind

Elin Hildebrand does it again! This book is a great escape into the trials and tribulations of Nantucket life. The story highlights how messy life can be when people start telling rumors.

The book started with a lot of promise but even at the end if felt like it was still building and then it just ended.

Just tried this book while browsing. Good but slow moving in some places.

Loved the idea of this book but not necessarily the writing There were parts I loved and parts I hated. It seemed to end weird too as if the author didn't know how to wrap it up... It was just okay for me,

Little slow on the start, but the story has some fun twists and picks up steam.
