The Blue Book by Elin Hilderbrand

Elin Hilderbrand isn’t writing anymore Nantucket novels (at least for now), but she is releasing a new Nantucket travel guide, The Blue Book, on May 12, 2025.

One of the reasons we all love Hilderbrand’s novels is the way she allows us all to feel like we’ve traveled to Nantucket. She’s even hosted numerous weekends for fans on Nantucket so they can see the places she mentions in her books, from Cisco Beach to the Brant Point Lighthouse, The Wauwinet, Barlett’s Farm, the Chicken Box and more.

If you’re venturing out to Nantucket on your own but want all of Hilderbrand’s tips and tricks for what to see, eat and do, The Blue Book can be your guide.

From the publisher:

Half the fun of an Elin Hilderbrand Nantucket novel is her attention to local detail: the beaches, restaurants, shops, and scenic destinations are as memorable as her plots and characters. For years Elin’s fans have made pilgrimages to the places they know from her books, and for years they’ve asked for a single guidebook to “Elin’s Nantucket.” The wait is over: in The Blue Book, the Queen of the Beach Read – and dare we say the Queen of Nantucket – offers readers practical, fun, insider tips: from drive-on beaches to late-night dance bars; from romantic getaways to family outings; from where to find the best oysters to where to buy the best beach towel. Interspersed with scenes from Elin’s novels set at the locations she recommends, with charming watercolor illustrations throughout, The Blue Book lets readers plan the perfect getaway – and live like the characters in an Elin Hilderbrand novel.
