About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

I was captivated by this book from the very beginning. Elin Hildebrand wrote this book so perfectly that you easily was caught in each character's lives & emotions. From the ups and downs, it was one beautiful novel full of unforgettable moments. One of her best!

My first novel by Elin and I fell in love with her writing. I tell others about this book. I felt like I was at the wedding watching it all unfold.

While "Beautiful Day" was not my favorite of Elin's novels, the "Outtakes" were genius.

About the author

Elin Hilderbrand had seven bridesmaids in cranberry red dresses. She was escorted down the aisle by her twin brother. She chose DJ over band and the song she most clearly remembers is Meat Loaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light." Beautiful Day is her twelfth novel.
