Happy The Perfect Couple release day to those who celebrate! The Netflix drama series, which is based on author Elin Hilderbrand’s novel of the same name, follows Amelia Sacks, who is about to marry into one of Nantucket’s wealthiest families, only for her big day to go awry when a dead body is found on the beach. From there, an investigation unfolds threatening to unveil the wedding guests’ deepest, darkest secrets. The show’s A-list cast is led by Nicole Kidman, who plays the family’s matriarch, Liev Schreiber, Meghann Fahy, and Dakota Fanning.
Craving more romance mysteries, or perhaps you aren’t ready to say goodbye to Nantucket quite yet? Well, luckily for you, Hilderbrand has written 29 other books to keep you company. Most of these can be read in any order, apart from The Winter Series, The Paradise Series, and a few others. Don’t worry, though; we already did all the legwork for you. So sit back, relax, and get lost in a tantalizing, sunkissed novel. Here are all the Elin Hilderbrand books in order.

Summer Book Series

Don’t say I didn’t warn you. (Barefoot, I’m looking at you.)
