Summer Reading Book Giveaway: The Castaways by Elin Hilderbrand
When I pre-ordered The Rumor by Elin Hilderbrand this summer, her publisher sent me a free copy of The Castaways as well.
I’ve already read The Castaways, but it’s one of my favorite Elin Hilderbrand books, so initially I thought I would dive in and read it again. Instead I’m giving it away here to someone who would like a great end-of-summer read.
Here’s the plot description from Amazon:
One couple’s secrets cast six friends adrift…
With rumors of infidelity straining Greg and Tess MacAvoy’s marriage, the couple head out on their sailboat one early-summer day to celebrate their wedding anniversay, hoping the roughest waters are behind them. But in an accident off Nantucket, they mysteriously drown, leaving behind two small children as well as the three couples who have long been their closest friends.
Tragedy brings to the surface long-simmering conflicts and emotions, and the MacAvoys’ six grieving friends find themselves unprepared for the revelation of secret upon secret as they struggle to answer the question: What happened to Greg and Tess?
The Castaways probes the boundaries of friendship and forgiveness as it tells a page-turning story of passion, betrayal, and suspense, filled with the perfect details of summer island life that have made Elin Hilderbrand’s novels beloved bestsellers.

Have read many of the Elin Hildebrand books, but sadly, not this one! My 35th wedding anniversary is on August 10th, so it would kind of on topic as well. Love your blog. Notice that since you left the Family CEO, you are posting way more here. Guess you made the right decision.
I’ve read (or actually listened on CDs) to this book. It is good. I listen to a lot of her books. Good luck to all entries. Should you pick my comment, choose another comment so I can pass my good fortune to another!

Looks like a great book. Elin’s books are always a fave of mine but I have not read this title. Thanks for a chance to win this fun summer read!
Haven’t read any of her works but would like to. Have you read Barbara Delinsky or Jodi Picoult? Maeve Binchey is also a favorite.
I am reading “The Boys in the Boat” and it is great. I would love a beach read.
I’ve had her books recommended to me by several friends, would love a chance to try one out!
I read my first Hilderbrand novel this summer (The Blue Bistro) and was not really a fan. However, this book sounds much more intriguing. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

I really enjoy Elin’s writing and books. Thank you for the giveaway. I just found your blog on BNOTP.
I’m currently reading The King Must Die, by Mary Renault. It’s wonderful like all her book. I’ve never read any Hilderbrand, so this would be a great introduction. Thanks for the chance.
