Can't afford to get away this summer? Travel without moving with this book set on the stunning American island of Nantucket . . . The well planned voices, perspectives and plot twists means it keeps your interest until the final page. (Best on SUMMERLAND)

'Takes the chick-lit trope of reclaimed friendship and updates it with a timely twist . . . Hilderbrand throws in a handful of plot twists that bounce the story along like a funky old jeep . . . SILVER GIRL [is] the kind of safe investment beachgoers should adore' (Boston Globe)

Hilderbrand captivates with racy narrative, topical references, and characters who are both familiar and memorable (People)

It provides a pacey read, with colourful characters that have fascinating motivations. I couldn't get them out of my head for days (Sunday Express on SILVER GIRL)

Présentation de l'éditeur

The "queen of the summer novel" explores the power of community, family, and honesty-and proves that even from the ashes of sorrow new love can take flight (Kirkus Reviews).

A warm June evening, a local tradition: the students of Nantucket High have gathered for a bonfire on the beach. What begins as a graduation night celebration ends in tragedy after a horrible car crash leaves the driver, Penny Alistair, dead, and her twin brother in a coma. The other passengers, Penny's boyfriend, Jake, and her friend Demeter, are physically unhurt--but the emotional damage is overwhelming. Questions linger about what happened before Penny took the wheel.

As summer unfolds, startling truths are revealed about the survivors and their parents, the secrets kept, promises broken, and hearts betrayed.
