The Carmichaels and Grahams have gathered on Nantucket for a wedding. 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 far from perfect.
While the couple-to-be are quite happy, their loved ones find their own 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.

My Review
What I loved about this story...
What a great story. Elin Hilderbrand is a newish author to me and I am really enjoying her writing style. I loved the fact that this story had quite a few characters in it but I had no problem keeping up with each of them once I learned who they were and and their own stories. You have characters who are happy but hit a bump in the road and then you have characters who are a bit down in luck and things get better. The story really centres around the wedding of Jenna and Stuart and the notebook that was created by Jenna's mother who died a while ago.
What I was not fond of with this story...
I have to admit that it did take a while for me to get into this story. There were quite a number of different characters being introduced in this story that it did take me a bit to get used to each one and follow but it was definitely worth sticking with it. Once I got to grips with who each person was and their story, I really enjoyed seeing what happened next with each of them.
