The Queen of the Summer Novel
Elin Hilderbrand might as well be the queen of the beach read . . . [THE RUMOUR] is nothing short of a gift.
'Takes the chick-lit trope of reclaimed friendship and updates it with a timely twist . . . Hilderbrand throws in a handful of plot twists that bounce the story along . . . SILVER GIRL [is] the kind of safe investment beachgoers should adore'
It provides a pacey read, with colourful characters that have fascinating motivations. I couldn't get them out of my head for days
So deliciously addictive that it will be the 'It' beach book of the summer
An honest, raw tale of friendship and love
'This book was a great read - you really care what happens to the characters. Perfect holiday reading. I didn't want to put it down'
'A gem of a summer read with a glamorous location, elite lifestyle, and Hilderbrand's appealing take on the constant stress that fills the lives of women everywhere'
Signifies the start of summer to readers
The queen regent of the easy-breezy summer read
