I really enjoyed this - even though it's been described as a "beach read," I found it authentic, funny and genuinely moving. It's the story of a New Yorker, Holly Talbott, who finds her husband kissing another woman in Brooklyn, and ends her marriage. The novel recounts her adventures in the dating pool, and the book is liberally laced with '80s pop culture. Holly seemed real, like someone I could relate to. Kargman's portrayal of the hedge-fund world was a little over the top, but thankfully it did not interfere with character development. I also loved the happy ending. This was kind of like a John Hughes movie turned into a book. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"A cheeky tale for recession-era romantics," (More) from a bestselling author The year is 2006 and Holly Talbott is married to the founder of Comer Capital at the apex of excess on Wall street. Sure, Holly loves being a stay-at-home mom and keeping house accounts at all the best places, but there are some downsides to being Mrs. Hedgefund. Even botox can't beautify her motherin-law's withering stares, and her husband, Tim, is away so often it feels like she's single again. So when it turns out that not all of Tim's trips have been for business, the newly minted divorcée ventures beyond the Upper East Side and finds that sometimes exes have all the fun. Impeccably rendered with wit and style, The Ex-Mrs. Hedgefund is an old-fashioned love story and a celebration of New York-in any economy. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Story about a woman whose husband grows up in a company and he
learns to trade funds and be very good at it, so good he's able to
hide them in his portfolio. She has a baby, Miles, and her best
girlfriend are out one day when they see her husband making out
with another female on the streets. He's not due home for another
2 days so they ransack his office to find his hidden funds so they
can take them and deposit them elsewhere. They used to attend
charity events where they'd bid on 250,000 items and it was nothing
to them. ( )
