Just an excellent, excellent book. I picked it up at the library because I had read her _First Wives Club_ some years ago, & liked it, then had bought _Switcheroo_ & was very pleased with that also. But this one tops them both, and a lot more. Contemporary, in that it deals with the Wall Street disaster that brought on the Great Recession, and appealing to boot in that it addresses women's issues - our proclivity to believe, to love, to "help out", even when that help is confessing to someone else's crimes & when that goes wrong, the someone else not just abandon's one, but turns on them. Not your usual womanupwomanship either, but beating them at their own game, because she always was better than them. Definitely on my to-read-again list; a lot of this one went by the side because I couldn't keep me eyes open, and I couldn't stop reading. Wonderful wonderful book; absolutely highly recommended. ( )
