MUST READ!
The Blue Bistro by Elin Hilderbrand
The Brian Jonestown Massacre - What You Isn't
From Goodreads:
Adrienne Dealey has spent the past six years working for hotels in exotic resort towns. This summer she has decided to make Nantucket home. Left flat broke by her ex-boyfriend, she is desperate to earn some fast money. When the desirable Thatcher Smith, owner of Nantucket's hottest restaurant, is the only one to offer her a job, she wonders if she can get by with no restaurant experience. Thatcher gives Adrienne a crash course in the business...and they share an instant attraction. But there is a mystery about their situation: what is it about Fiona, the Blue Bistro's chef, that captures Thatcher's attention again and again? And why does such a successful restaurant seem to be in its final season before closing its doors for good? Despite her uncertainty, Adrienne must decide whether to open her heart for the first time, or move on, as she always does.
Infused with intimate Nantucket detail and filled with the warmth of passion and the breeze of doubt, The Blue Bistro is perfect summer reading.
So in the past two weeks, I read all the new beach releases from Mary Kay Andrews, Dorothea Benton Frank and Nancy Thayer and none of them left me completely satisfied. It is probably time for a re-read of my all-time favorite, The Blue Bistro -- this one is so freaking good; it's set on Nantucket and takes place behind the scenes and in a fancy restaurant.
MUST LISTEN!
We saw BJM twice over Memorial Day weekend and this song was so freaking good live.
MUST SEE!

ReplyDeleteI love Elin Hilderbrand books, but it's been a minute since reading one. Love the video! But then, I always love the videos you find. I listened to the NPR podcast about Sweetbitter, too. I recently added it to my shelf because so many were raving about it. And, thanks for the shout out. :)
