Silver Girl
by Elin Hilderbrand
Meredith is Silver Girl, she lives a privileged life with her husband, an investments banker...and a crook. The problem is Silver Girl doesn't know her husband is a crook and one day he, and the Feds, reveal that he has stolen 50 billion dollars from his clients. Think Bernie Madoff.
As you can imagine Meredith's life spins out of control and all eyes are on her as people think she was in on the scam due to her "loving" husband putting her fingerprints all over 15 million dollars 3 days before he gets arrested. The problem with Meredith's lifestyle is that she has no real friends, nobody who can come to her side and give her some support...except for Connie whom she has known for a lifetime but had a falling out with a few years back.
This is the story of both Meredith and Connie finding their way back from deep waters to healing.
It's the second Hilderbrand book I've read and as with the other one she doesn't write in chapters but in character voice. This book is written strictly from Meredith and Connie's perspectives. While I liked the story line, the character development, and the setting the book lagged a bit in parts. I think some tighter editing would have been beneficial and not detracted from the content of the book. It was a lengthy novel that could have had a more lasting impact with some tightening. But all in all, I liked the book and I like Hilderbrand's style and story lines.
