A summer wedding stirs up trouble on both sides of the family in this beloved bestseller from "the queen of the summer novel" (People).

The Carmichaels and the Grahams have gathered on Nantucket for a happy occasion: a wedding that will unite their two families. Plans are being made according to the wishes of the bride's late mother, who left behind The Notebook: specific instructions for every detail of her youngest daughter's future nuptials. Everything should be falling into place for the beautiful event -- but in reality, things are falling apart.

While the couple-to-be are quite happy, their loved ones find their lives crumbling. In the days leading up to the wedding, love will be questioned, scandals will arise, and hearts will be broken and healed. Elin Hilderbrand takes readers on a touching journey in Beautiful Day -- into the heart of marriage, what it means to be faithful, and how we choose to honor our commitments.

What did you like best about Beautiful Day? What did you like least?

I liked best the wit and humor of the father and in laws. Least - the drama and long and drawn out Margot - she was not a fun character. Would like to have bridged the gap of The Surfing Lesson and Beautiful Day-- Left you hanging so was hoping to hear more detail of the end of the marriage of Margot, as her husband seemed to be a free spirit. Would like to have more humor in places like Something Borrowed to give it a little more edge. However the dedication to the grandparents was a nice touch and their marriage.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The detailed diary of the deceased mother (a little over the top). Least interesting was the big build up of Margot and her secret which was a big let down.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Doug was divorcing Pauline!

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes
