[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I listened to Guest List by Lisa Foley on a recent beach trip and it was a fantastic beach listen. Her books are told from the perspective of multiple characters, which I don’t usually love, but each character is read by a different person in the audiobook so it ends up really drawing you in. I also just finished listening to Paris Apartment by her and it’s the same format (enjoyed it too). They aren’t the greatest books of all time but I found both audiobooks very immersive.[/quote]

If you liked The Guest List, you'll probably enjoy The Hunting Party (also by Foley). I liked it almost as much as The Guest List, and more than The Paris Apartment.

I also echo the Elin Hilderbrand recommendations. I love all of her books, but her earlier ones are definitely better, from a literary perspective. "The Love Season" is one of my favorites by her. Mind you, it's still not "literary," but I do think her books have become increasingly formulaic over the years, so earlier stuff hits the right mix of lightweight but not completely fluff. (Not that I care -- I read everything she writes!)
