A review by kaleenazagrzebski
The Widow of Wall Street by Randy Susan Meyers

3.0

High school sweethearts, Phoebe and Jake, have been dating since they were fifteen, but their relationship isn’t exactly built on trust. Jake grew up wanting nothing but the best for himself and Phoebe, and he was willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. When Jake quickly rises to the top when he starts his own firm, the crimes he committed along the way to get there are revealed. The question is, did Phoebe know about it? And was she in on the scheme all along?

This book starts out at the beginning of Phoebe and Jake’s relationship, so you can get a sense of what got them to where they are at the end of the book. I definitely think that helped in building the characters and understanding why they made the decisions they did.

If you’re a fan of books with unreliable characters, this one is for you. Jake is the type of person that just drove me insane, but also made me want to keep reading. While not a jaw dropping page turner, I overall enjoyed the book!
