'Different from your typical chick lit: the plot is complex and a bit dark rather than funny, and the pace is gentle' -- Sunday Canberra Times on SILVER GIRL '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 'Reminiscent of Jodi Picoult's work, this is an engaging, intricate read I didn't want to end.' -- Bookbag '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 'so deliciously addictive that it will be the "It" beach book of the summer' -- Kirkus Review on THE ISLAND 'An honest, raw tale of friendship and love' -- Cosmopolitan on THE CASTAWAYS 'This book was a great read - you really care what happens to the characters. Perfect holiday reading. I didn't want to put it down' -- Candis on BAREFOOT 'A gem of a summer read with a glamorous location, elite lifestyle, and Hilderbrand's appealing take on the constant stress that fills the lives of women everywhere' -- Booklist on A SUMMER AFFAIR
