Silver Girl: A Novel by Elin Hilderbrand

Another delightful read by Hiderbrand!

Connie and Meredith had always been childhood friends --- Years had passed without them truly speaking and then suddenly Meredith finds herself in a situation in which she needs Connie and solace.

Meredith husband was involved in a ponzi scheme and his dirty deeds have consequences that might take Meredith and their son down with him. Think, Bernie Madoff and his wife. Connie is widowed and estranged for her daughter.

These two women take refuge in Connie's beautiful home in Nantucket to heal and retreat. They are faced with new and old relationships that change their perspective on life and living.

This is a perfect beach read and with only one minor flaw --- a fantastic read. The flaw itself is minor and may only be bothersome to a few, myself included. Hiderbrand using the word jail throughout the book rather than prison.

This is annoying because jail and prison are quite different things. Jail being a place in which an inmate is awaiting trial, waiting for transport to prison or serving time for a misdemeanor. While prison is a place of long-term condiment for those convicted of serious crimes (such as --- Meredith's husband.)
