This is a pure pure beach read. Except that I read it in my bed with the rain pouring in buckets outside. In other words, a PERFECT day to read an entire book! Which is what I did, cover to cover. The premise is basically a couple (like Bernie Madoff and his wife) and the husband is arrested for running a ponzi scheme and has bilked hundreds of people of millions of dollars and his wife Meredith is sort of left in the ruins. Everyone hates her because they can't imagine she didn't know about it (and she says she didn't!) and she is also under investigation herself by the Feds. But the story is how did she get to that point (of living with a perfect stranger who not only was a crook, but also had a six-year affair with their interior decorator) and not have a clue? When is not noticing anything okay?
Good read, I would highly recommend it!
HALLIE: This book definitely kept me reading but I was very irritated with the main character for prob 80% of the book. I think it was the other characters who kept me around becuase really I don't feel bad for you that you had no concept of money and then get screwed cause your husbands an ass. But rather than speak all negative about that I was happy with how the book ended and it did amuse me!
