Silver Girl by Elin Hilderbrand
4.0
I won this book from an author’s blog, so that is always fun. I've enjoyed each of Hildebrand’s books that I've read, but I was hesitant about this one, since it was based on the whole Madoff saga. But, once again, Hildebrand did not disappoint.
She wrote a sympathetic and likable heroine, who I couldn’t help but route for. I do not know enough about the real Mrs. Madoff, to know if they are similar (but I’m assuming they're not). The story was compelling - and made you stop to think about what his family (if they were innocent) went through.
The friendship between Meredith and Connie was complicated and realistic. Friends hurt each other, life gets in the way, but in the end, you hope someone has your back.
The setting - Nantucket, of course - in the summer is lovely. The descriptions of food alone, had me wishing I ate better! The locales and flashback to Philadelphia suburbs were all fun and realistic. The ending, was neat, but not perfect.
It was an easy, satisfying read.
