Silver Girl by Elin Hilderbrand
2.0

After it is revealed that her hedge fund investor husband turns out to be a ponzi scheme crook sentenced to 150 years in prison for making off with millions of investor's money, Meredith seeks refuge in estranged best friend's summer house on Nantucket island. The best friend is still recovering from the loss of her beloved husband, albeit badly. Other characters: best friend's dashing and rogue brother, local widower who's self-appointed job is to "was to know everyone on the island and everything that was going on", and a very brief appearance from best-friend's self-absorbed lesbian daughter. Plenty of TV-style drama.

Not usually the kind of thing I read; I was experimenting with reads from the bestseller lists. None of the characters were very likeable or relateable, to me. But once I started, the drama was difficult to turn away from. Luckily it didn't take up too much precious time, and actually, was a welcome summer distraction.
