    About this audiobook

    In The Beach Club, the juicy first novel by Elin Hilderbrand, a series of personal dramas are played out during one summer at a Nantucket Beach Club. It's about the love of summer, summer love, and the special feelings we all have for that special summer place--in this case, a hotel and an island.

    Mack Petersen, manager of the hotel, has been working at The Beach Club for 12 summers. Only this summer is different. His boss, the owner of the hotel, Bill Elliot, shows up in the spring with a new set of demands. His girlfriend Maribel is pressing Mack to get married and Vance, the African-American bellman, who has hated Mack since the day Mack stole his job 12 years ago, threatens him in a deadly scene. Mack knows something's got to give.

    Love O'Donnell, the new front desk person straight from the slopes of Aspen, is desperately searching for a stranger to father her child. The bellman, Jem Crandall, who posed as Mr. November in his college calendar, is on his way to LA to break into agenting, until he falls in love with Maribel. Emotions are at a peak when a hurricane threatens to wash away The Beach Club and all it stands for.

    An engrossing, sexy novel that will sweep you away to the beach any time of the year.

    Author

    Elin Hilderbrand

    Elin Hilderbrand lives on Nantucket, has three children and is the author of 27 novels, including SUMMER OF ‘69.  Elin met Dottie in the spring of 2017 at the annual Post & Courier luncheon in Charleston and Elin says, “It was love at first sight.” The two authors proceeded to meet on Nantucket every chance they got and they texted and emailed non-stop. They dreamed of doing a joint cooking show called “Cook the Books,” where they would invite a third author on to make a signature dish for each episode. They also talked about a cookbook called “The Southern Belle and the Gray Lady.” Elin’s summer of 2020 novel, 28 Summers, is dedicated to Dottie and Dottie makes a cameo appearance in Elin’s summer of 2021 novel, Golden Girl. “I will never again have a writer friend like Dottie,” Elin says. “Those of you who knew her understand what I mean, and those of you who didn’t will just have to trust me. They broke the mold.”

      “It’s a Double Standard,” by David Zimmer in the Summer ’18 issue made me chuckle. We built a two-seater outhouse recently, and it is a hit (or two for sure)—though my two younger brothers (aged 65 and 68, respectively) refuse to share. — M.s. Lamont

      I was fairly bored listening to this book yet still hung on to find out what happened to the hotel and Mack in the end.
    • 3/5
      The Beach Club is about a hotel/beach club that has belonged to the same owner for years and years. Mack has worked for Bill and Theresa for over 12 years and really would love to get a share of the profits but is too chicken to ask. In fact, Mack is pretty much too chicken to do anything. He wont marry his girlfriend, he wont sell his farm in Iowa, (Elin is originally from Iowa, she went to U of I as well) he wont ask for any profits that the hotel makes. This book was good, but just not as good as it could have been, or not even as good as some of her other books. What's strange is that this was her first book ever written and I can't understand why it's so popular. It really wasn't THAT good. It definitely wasn't "the book" to make a career. But hey, every writer has to start somewhere, and if it was good enough to be published that has to say something for the rest of us doesn't it. Anyway, I give this book a C. Hopefully the next one I read will be better than this on

      Perfect book for long airplane trip.Mindless, "soap opera"ish story of a Beach and Hotel club on Nantucket and the interwoven tales of the manager, owner, people who work there, etc.
