Description
Meredith Martin Delinn just lost everything: her friends, her homes, her social standing — because her husband Freddy cheated rich investors out of billions of dollars.
Desperate and facing homelessness, Meredith receives a call from her old best friend, Constance Flute. Connie's had recent worries of her own, and the two depart for a summer on Nantucket in an attempt to heal. But the island can't offer complete escape, and they're plagued by new and old troubles alike. When Connie's brother Toby — Meredith's high school boyfriend — arrives, Meredith must reconcile the differences between the life she is leading and the life she could have had.
Set against the backdrop of a Nantucket summer, Elin Hilderbrand delivers a suspenseful story of the power of friendship, the pull of love, and the beauty of forgiveness.
“Clearly the Madoff family inspired this plot, but Hilderbrand gives it her own sun-kissed, optimistic spin — which is not to say it’s all Rosa rugosa, just that there’s a silver lining to the ugliest of circumstances.” —Elisabeth Egan, New York Times

5By jillhardy2Excellent story and I immediately thought of Madoff at the beginning. The ending was wonderful!Nuanced Beach read
5By YdnewRI loved the reality of two long time friends coming together in times of trouble. Forgiveness is a big theme which resonates in many ways. Above all, the Nantucket setting is beautiful and romantic, perfect for reading during a rainy winter!A good read

5By JmcjpAwesome story. Erin Hildebrand's stories are NOT boring. They are imaginative and very interesting. I sometimes feel like I am someone within her storyline. Silver Girl I'll is one of those. Even though the basic plot is familiar, the rest of the story's is unique.Boring

4By MahometmamaNew author for me and I read this one in 1 day. Typical story lines but well written, taken from the Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme and the resulting destruction of his family, but well written. I love chic lit about old friends and family relationships, esp those considered ‘beach reads’ and I will purchase this author again in the future.Fantastic read
