HerKentucky Whiskey Glass Rating: 🥃🥃🥃

Publisher’s synopsis: 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.

HerKentucky review: Jennifer Carmichael prepares for her wedding day while painstakingly adhering to The Notebook, a series of wedding “suggestions” prepared years earlier by her late mother. This is a sweet tale of family loyalty, even if the premise is a little overwrought. The family dynamics among the Carmichael clan are relatable and well-constructed, and this is a lovely book for summertime reading.
