Wish You Were Here by Jodi Picoult:
Diana O’Toole is perfectly on track. She’s not engaged just yet, but she knows her boyfriend, Finn, a surgical resident, is about to propose on their romantic getaway to the Galápagos. But then a virus appears in the city, and on the eve of their departure, Finn breaks the news: It’s all hands on deck at the hospital. He assures her it would be a shame for all of their nonrefundable trip to go to waste. And so, reluctantly, she goes alone. She soon finds herself examining her relationships, her choices, and herself.

Xavier hires Nantucket sweetheart Lizbet Keaton as his general manager, and Lizbet, in turn, pulls together a charismatic, if inexperienced, staff who share the vision of turning the fate of the hotel around.
