Whew ... this one right here !!! This novel by Elin Hilderbrand might just be my favorite read of 2024. I'm definitely going to look into her other 26 novels. I can't honestly unpack too much here without spoilers & I'm really hopeful that one of my friends/family would be interested in reading this so we can talk about it. Let's talk about Vivian, Martha, Savannah, Willa, Carson & Leo ... there are soo many different relationships within these pages & I was able to envision each one. If I could nominate a book to movie, this should be it, on Netflix even if not on the big screen. I've got a special thank you to a fellow bookworm & pango book seller Linda Kosinski (go figure). This year I committed to a book reading challenge & this book Golden Girl was one of her suggestions, I'm extremely thankful.
