FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE PERFECT COUPLE, NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES

'Hilderbrand's books keep getting better and better' Bookreporter
'The queen regent of the easy-breezy summer novel' New York Post

When Vivian Howe, author of thirteen novels and mother of three grown-up children, is killed in a hit-and-run incident while jogging near her home, she ascends to the Beyond. Because her death was unfair, she is allowed to watch what happens below with her children, her best friend, her ex-husband, and a rival novelist whose book is coming out the same day as Vivi's.
Vivi is also given the use of three 'nudges' so that she can influence the outcome of events in the world of the living. As Vivi discovers her children's secrets, watches the investigation into her own death and worries about a secret from her youth coming to light, she must decide what she wants to manipulate - and what should be left well alone.
Combining Elin Hilderbrand's trademark beach scenes, mouth-watering meals and picture-perfect homes with the heartfelt message that the people we lose never really leave us, Golden Girl is a beach book unlike any other from 'Queen of the Summer Novel' (People).

Rezensionen / Stimmen
PRAISE FOR ELIN HILDERBRAND: Hilderbrand throws enough curveballs to keep readers guessing, but not too many, maintaining the breezy pace her novels are known for * Booklist on THE PERFECT COUPLE * An honest, raw tale of friendship and love * Cosmopolitan on THE CASTAWAYS * 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 * So deliciously addictive that it will be the 'It' beach book of the summer * Kirkus Review on THE ISLAND * 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 *
