FICTION - MYSTERY - CHICK LIT
Readers who enjoy women's fiction, drama, and a strong female character will enjoy this book.
Ms. Meyers' marvelous writing pulls the reader into the high stakes of Wall Street, the power and lives of the wealthy, and reminds us of the saying: “Money is the root of all evil. “

pickOk wow 6000/10 I was enthralled with the Pierce story from page 1. I truly believe Phoebe had no clue what was going on, she just accepted her role as foolish and that broke my heart so when she left I cheered! One thing for sure, I don‘t think that Noah‘s death should have only covered 2 pages. I really wish she could have said goodbye but that was probably the point😂
40 pages in... did Phoebe just do the f***** up thing I think she did!!!!?

Today‘s Prompt: GOLD ON THE COVER
Phoebe always was a girl who loved her books, and she found a husband who also loved his books, but a different kind than Phoebe loved. Phoebe loved her school books, Jake loved his books that showed his money growing.

so-soRipped from the headlines ~ the very obvious story of Ruth Madoff (wife of Bernie) who fleeced billions of dollars from unsuspecting investors. Phoebe falls in love with young Jake, a real go getter as a teen. Against her parents wishes she marries Jake who vows to show Phoebe‘s parents he‘s worthy. Ultimately, his drive for success & Phoebe‘s sense of loyalty destroys so many lives including their very own family. A quick read.

pickI liked this book. The story was told through the wife's point of view. The deception was devastating to her and her family. It was a really interesting story that took place over the lifetime of her marriage. It is just so hard to believe it can happen but we all know it has.
Today's Word: THOUGHTFUL
#Yesvember17 #YESvember @Libby1
THE WIDOW OF WALL STREET by Randy Susan Meyers has its tense moments and a truly thoughtful ending. Thoughtful in the sense that do we really think about what we do every day that may or may not harm others.

pick4⭐️. An evocative story full of deception and greed, and a woman‘s ability to survive the devastation. Randy Susan Meyer has written a compelling and powerful story, just like something out of the headlines. But the real story is not Jake‘s deception and greed. It‘s about Phoebe and their two children and the effect of his actions on them. See more https://lharvey250.tumblr.com/post/161170186744/the-widow-of-wall-street-randy-s...
Coming out of a reading slump and starting this one!
This one works for #fallintoreading for #goldandsilver for the cover and for #septembowie for #underpressure and@#fallintoreading for #guilty because the husband in the book was under pressure the entire book because he was guilty of running a Ponzi scheme.
pickI liked the development of phoebes character even if she did really make me mad with her choices. This book shined a light on how easy it is to be blinded by those we love! A good beach/pool read!
pickGreat read...love the cover. My blog review is here: https://silversolara.blogspot.com/2017/04/the-widow-of-wall-street-by-randy-susa...
FINALLY started reading again and this one was a good choice so far.
pickA story inspired by the Madoff Ponzi scheme which led to financial ruin for thousands of people. The story is told from the point of view of the criminal and his wife. The writing was so wonderful that I found myself agonizing with the husband as he became more and more overwhelmed by what he had done. Bonus - the multiple references to Gone With The Wind! #prettycovers
I really like this. Having come from the world of Finance myself, the author delivers the information accurately without a drop of dryness. I think she's drawn the characters perfectly. Even the husband who is terribly selfish and flawed has a certain purity in his motives. Phoebe is also wonderfully personified. She isn't the expected victimized doe. She has strength. They love each other so the first page when she hates him is fascinating.
bailedIf you know the story of Bernie Madoff you know this book. Like straight up his and his wife's story. And her fictionalization of some things were boring and I didn't care about any of it and her writing isn't for me. A shame, too, because I enjoyed Accidents of Marriage.
Working my way through one of my picks for the @DeweysReadathon! I didn't expect to like this book, but I'm really enjoying it so far!
I just finished " One perfect lie" by Lisa Scottoline and I am glad that's over . I love the author of book I am about to start reading , I'm excited for this one !
