Hilderbrand had learned that the country club in Brookline, Massachusetts, was so exclusive and well-known that it was just referred to as the Country Club, so she knew she had to set a story there. “The Country Club” is a prequel to THE IDENTICALS. Barbie Pancik, a minor character in THE RUMOR, takes center stage in “Barbie’s Wedding.” Here, she must decide how honest she wants or needs to be with her intended, Glenn, ahead of their Nantucket wedding. Set decades before THE MATCHMAKER, “The Tailgate” focuses on one pivotal weekend in the 1980s, a college football game, a tailgate picnic and J.D. We see Margot and Drum in the early days of their relationship and how past loves still figure into our collective stories, for better or worse. “The Surfing Lesson” occurs a few years prior to the action in BEAUTIFUL DAY.

But the fall release of ENDLESS SUMMER proves that any time is the right time to curl up with a story of hers. Usually a new Elin Hilderbrand book heralds the start of summer.
