Hedge Fund Wives
Tatiana Boncompagni
If you like books skewering the super-rich (and who doesn't?) this is for you. It reminded me a lot of Sex In the City-- juicy, scandalous, glitzy and addictive. The heroine Marcy is an Accidental Hedge Fund Wife (there are seven types of HFWs) and by far the most sympathetic character in the book. She's the perfect narrator for a story about what happens when Wall Street goes bust. (Answer: Everyone makes like ostriches and puts their heads in the sand.) My only complaint is that I wished the book was longer. A real page-turner. Lots of fun. The kind of book you can read in a day.
