Hedge Fund Wives: A Novel
In this amazingly timely story about what the wealthy do when Wall Street lays an egg, the author of Gilding Lily once again delivers a witty and insightful treatment of today's woman, as she explores the sacrifices they make, the bargains they strike, the rules they follow, and what happens when it all starts to fall apart.
Who could have guessed that Wall Street would go south just as Marcy Emerson and her husband moved east? Down to earth Marcy relocated from Chicago to New York when her husband was offered a big time job as a hedge fund manager.
She gives up her own job—after all, hedge fund wives don't work! And while at first it's fun to shop all day and party all night, Marcy quickly learns that life among the rich can be anything but easy and that behind every smile can be a stab in the back.
Still, it's not until her husband leaves her for his thinner, blonder mistress—a woman who is higher up the social ladder than the original Mrs. Emerson will ever be—that Marcy decides to stand on her own two feet once again, and fight for the things that are far more important than money.

Asinine. Predictable. I couldn't put it down.
April 15, 2011
Believe it or not, this is professional reading for me. The plot was predictable and the writing very average, but it was a fast read and a probably somewhat accurate portrait of this overly privileged world. This genre of novels of the world of wealthy financiers serve to allow the average reader to feel superior (the rich all cheat on their spouses, they are terrible parents, they have no real friendships), while devouring every last detail about the parties, the cars and the designer clothing. These books play neatly into the classic American love-hate relationship with the rich: we hate them but want to be them. The first-person narrators of these novels tend to portray themselves as outsiders (they all seem to move to New York from the midwest); remaining grounded and uncorrupted while passing judgement on their surroundings, allowing the readers to imagine that they'd be just the same if they suddenly fell into that world.

Fun, easy read. I loved it!!

Hedge Fund Wives was a fast and interesting enough read. Books like these are my guilty pleasure and somehow I take an interest in looking into the lives of the rich and the richer.
Marcy is the protagonist which I immediately took a liking to. She struggles with very real situations that real life women can easily relate to. Despite her wealth, she remained humble and had a sympathetic and clear view of the world and it was interesting to see her battle against the facades of the supposed upperclass society. The minor characters in the books also offered an intriguing view to how a wealthy lifestyle can easily destroy relationships and show how sometimes, money isn't always the key.
While I enjoyed the story, I absolutely couldn't stand the constant name dropping of brands and descriptions of furniture. My interest also wavered while they were talking about the economy and businesses (perhaps not my strongest forte) and I found myself skimming paragraphs and pages that were not particularly relevant to the main storyline. I also found myself in gripes about the ending which was purely awful. Boncompagni basically sums up the ending in one chapter that made a sudden time jump four years ahead with Marcy in a completely total different life. It seemed too sudden with completely no ease into the plot and I felt like it was a waste of reading the last few chapters if everything was summed up in one.
Basically, Hedge Fund Wives is interesting enough to pick up if you enjoy an older version of Gossip Girl but I felt like it could have been edited and written better.

It's a great read for art brokers living in NYC. Otherwise, just a glorified cat-fight.

This book was a good read, and entertaining. It was clear to me from reading the book that the author has a capitalist bend- she definitely wasn't someone chanting "we are the 99 percent" in the late 2000's. There is something inherently evil about having billions of dollars, and spending it on shoes, when other people, who ironically live in the same city, are starving.
But apart from my political issues with the book, I thought that it tended to marginalize women despite the conclusion of the book, which emphasized the importance of continuing to work after you are married even if you don't need to. That's fine, but I take issue with that for several reasons. First, I think that this philosophy marginalizes the contributions of stay at home mothers. Second, it is an awfully exclusive point to make. Most people don't have that choice, and by implying that continuing to work after you are married is a noble privilege and goal, it sort of discounts the families that don't have those choices, can't afford childcare, etc. Third, this book has an awful lot of dominating men that women are ultimately subservient to, even in the workplace. While this may often occur in reality, there wasn't a single sympathetic male character, and I think that this book reinforces some negative perspectives in this regard.

I loved most of this book. Each piece of drama in this book was compelling and foreshadowed, well crafted by the author. However once this book was starting to crescendo into a intense unrequited millionaire romance ft a random act of ransom the book suddenly ended. The ending felt like a ticked off shopping list and that really put me off, otherwise a good book.

I feel like this book was written with specific people in mind. That being said, I don’t know the people so it was fun to kinda guess but I really
Have no idea. I have it only three stars because I felt that the ending was abrupt. Like as if the author got tired of her characters so then “suddenly everyone was hit by a truck. The end.” LOL

October 6, 2022I enjoyed reading this book whilst on a beach holiday. It's an addictive read for anyone who loves New York and shopping/designer goods. I read it within a couple of days as it was an unputdownable book. Unfortunately, I thought that the ending was rushed and very predictable but other than that, it was a good read.

A fun book
I had originally downloaded a sample of the book. By the end of the sample I knew I had to buy it to see how it ended. I admit that it took me a day to decide to buy it as I try to keep how much I spend. It was well worth the money! I loved how it had a ending which made me smile and gave all the characters an ending that I wanted them to have.

Marcy and John move from Chicago to New York. After settling John starts changing and becoming more critical of Marcy. He eventually cheats on her and Marcy is left to rebuild her life and career from scratch. She also learns who her real friends are when her husband's money and power aren't her main asset. A fast read.

Underneath The Messages
This book frankly surprised me. The story gives peeks at the luxurious life of the one percenters but at the same time talks about the workings of the financial system and some of the, too frequent, foibles of women’s decisions in a very entertaining way. I enjoyed the book. It was an informative read wrapped in fun.

I liked the ending of this book but the rest of it was very average for me. The main character John absolutely annoyed me and yes Macy finally grew a pair, but it took almost the whole book for that to happen

This book was well written and provided insight into the lives of the well-to-do in NYC. This one was a page turner for me. Great read! I will definitely look for more books by this author!

Not Great but Worth Your Time
I read this in one day. It's a little predictable and cliche but a good read. A good story with a satisfying ending. I recommend it as light reading.

The perfect holiday read. 5 stars for being the perfect book to read whilst lounging in a 5-star hotel pool with a swim up bar. So indulgent! Such nice characters! Even though it's a bit chick-lit airport novel-y, it's still classy for that genre. All about rich people being awful in New York City, and few nice poorer ladies who do well in the end. Loved it! I left my hard copy at home on a trip, half way through, and had to buy on Kindle on my holiday to finish.

Marcy and her husband, John Emerson are packing up and leaving their hom in the Windy city of Chicago and heading for New York City. John has been offered a really good job for a hedge fund company called Zenith Capital.
Now Marcy is being invited to some of the biggest parties including a baby shower for one of the other hedge fund wives. Caroline is the happy mother to be but don't go congratulating her as she is having the baby by surrogate. While attending the shower, Marcy meets Jillian Lovern Tischman, another one of the wives. She tells Marcy that there are different catgories of hedge fund wives.
There are the Accidentals, the ones who didn't plan on becoming hedge fnd wives but did when their hudbands got jobs in the market of hedge funds. Then there are the Westminsters, the ones who were born into this type of lifestyle. There is the Stephanie Seymours, the bitches of the bunch. They treat everyone including their husbands like dirt and are allowed to get away with it. We also have the Former Secretary, the ones who of course are the secretaries for the men who work for hedge funds and later become hedge fund wives. Watch out for their claws as they will do everything they can to hold onto their men. Then you have the Socialites, the name explains them all. The last two types of wives are the Workaholics and the Breeders. The Breeders are the stay at home mommies but don't think just because they pop out kids they don't demand respect. They own all the latest baby items from all the famous baby designers.
Marcy can't stand any of the women. She is used to working and can't wrap her brain around justifying spending Three thousand dollars per plate for dinner. As time passes, Marcy get used to her new lifestyle and can't imagine going back to her old life. Marcy just may have to when John dumps her for another hedge fund wife.
Hedge Fund Wives is Tatiana Boncompagni's second novel. I loved Mrs. Boncompagni's first novel Gilding Lily about a group of socialities who strive for fame and fortune. Now these types of books who not appeal to my taste but Tatiana writes these books so well that you won't have to worry about the characters coming off as vamp, airless, square characters. No in fact the characters in these books are fun to read about. Marcy was my favorite. Even though she had lots of money, she still wanted to work and never took advantage of anyone. I don't know how hedge fund husbands act but if they act like their wives then John has his part down pat. Hedge Fund Wives is another winner for Titiana Boncompagni. I can't wait to read her next novel.

Hedge Fun Wives is the second novel coming from Tatiana Boncompagni. It holds some resemblance to her first novel, in the fact that it’s about the rich, and the inner workings of their lives. This book overall to me was cheesy to say the least. And honestly, that wasn’t too bad of a thing.
Hedge Fund Wives is about a woman named Marcy and her husband named John. The two have been married for 5 years, their lives seeming to get better and better with each year. John starts working at a hedge fund, causing them to move from their hometown of Chicago, to the big city of New York. Unfortunately, the happiness doesn’t last long. John ends up cheating on Marcy, and things start to nosedive really fast.
The only two characters in this book whom I had a connection to was Marcy and one of her friends Gigi. The others, not so much. To me, the characters of this book seemed to replicate those of her last. Yeah, there were different scandals, but you could see Robert in John, and the means girls were the same as the last book. I was disappointed by this, but overall amused how Boncompagni was still able to make me hate them all the same.
The descriptions of this book were okay…They were still overly done at some points, but on other points were flawless. I enjoyed being able to see the million dollar eco-friendly apartment in my head, along with the white crispness of one of the Wives kitchens. It made me want to go out and start redecorating everything. But other times, the descriptions seemed repeated. For example, with the clothes, I felt like the author was writing the same thing over and over again — ruffled sleeveless blouse, with a pencil skirt. After awhile, it was like “Okay we get it! They all wear the same clothes!”
Overall, I give this book a 4.5/5. It was a lot better than the other book, and had me on the edge of my seat waiting for what Marcy would do next. Unlike Gilding Lily, Marcy wasn’t a victim and took action against the people that wronged her. It was great to see so much power in her, and how she didn’t need anyone’s help in getting her life back together. (Save for her best friend, considering she needed a roof over her head for a while, and a few pep talks just so she knows that her life wasn’t meaningless.)

Poor editing and fact checking
It is unlikely that Larry Ellison would read a book titled Hedge Fund Wives, but if he did, he would be surprised to learn that he was a co-founder of Apple. Not to dwell on one factual error, but Mr. Ellison is the founder of Oracle Corporation. He served on Apple's board for a short time. This book is filled with errors that a junior editor should have caught.
Reading this book in 2015 gives me the benefit of hindsight. I had the distinct feeling that the author quickly threw this book together to exploit the dire economy and its effect on the nouveau riche and infamous. Harper Collins must have had the same mindset. Hedge Fund Wives does not live up to what I consider the high standards of the publisher.
In a nutshell, this is the story of women married to men who either own or work for hedge funds. They all drown in money and think nothing of blowing six figures on a single piece of clothing. The main character, Marcy, becomes a doormat until her boring husband leaves her. She then morphs into a party animal, who gets so drunk that she takes off her cotton panties (where was her La Perla?) and throws them in a gutter for her date to retrieve. She ultimately founds a multinational investment firm. Yep, what a gal.
Don't waste your time!

This is an OK read if you are looking for some mind candy and don't really want a challenging plot you may have to think about. It is amazingly predictable--you meet the characters and pretty much figure out what's going to happen to them right away. And the ending is so pat--the good people all live happily ever after and the bad people either get their comeuppance or see the error of their ways.
The author seems to resent rich people--all of the characters are morally bankrupt and/or emotionally absent and unreachable. The marriages are cold and distant, the friendships are Mean-Girls-style frenemy competitions. And stereotypical! Of course the Russian wife is cold and rude, and may be a madam and the daughter of a Russian mobster! Other characters seem styled directly from an episode of Real Housewives. But then, the writing is so simplistic, and so replete with spelling, grammatical and factual errors it could just be that the author cannot develop characters beyond the one-dimensional.
I can't say I wasn't entertained by the story, but this was one of the most poorly-written books I have read in a while that was not self- or vanity-published.

Great book - and not the typical NYC socialite chic lit. Only because there was some interesting background info to the recession and the wall street industry. However, got a little detailed and above my brain. I did like the main character because she ends up being strong and not walked over. However, I sometimes wonder how these women in these books take it from these men! Are women really like that today?
I read on another review that someone didn't like the Warren character and I quote "What I did not like was the Warren character. I think he had too small a part to play. He seems great, the hero and then he falls and then he sneaks back in the end. I would have liked to see more of his relationship with Marcy." I would definitely agree.
The problem with these NYC socialite women books is that this is so not the rest of the country and the rest of society's women!! Come one people - not everyone lives in NYC!
But I still loved the book :)

I liked this book better than the book, Ex-Mrs Hedge fund, even though the plots were almost identical. There was more drama and a faster pace to this. I liked the backdrop of the recession against all the excess.
What I did not like was the Warren character. I think he had too small a part to play. He seems great, the hero and then he falls and then he sneaks back in the end. I would have liked to see more of his relationship with Marcy. It is hard for me to believe that women today actually place their man above all else (career, their wishes,etc). It's incredible for me to see women who have such low esteem. It makes me feel very sorry for these type of women. Fun read.

I will never be a Hedge Fund Wife. I will never have millions of dollars to decorate my apartment. But, no longer do I believe that all Hedge Fund Wives are like the women of "Real Housewives of New York City". Tatiana Boncompagni has written a great book at a real woman. A strong woman dealing with hard issues. Not only does Marcy Emerson survive, she thrives.
Hedge Fund Wives is a great book. I thoroughly enjoyed her engaging story and dynamic characters. I look forward to the next book she writes.

This was an OK read. That's all I can say about it really - it was OK. I didn't really feel much sympathy for Marcy, and I think that's probably the point of the book. I don't particularly care to read about men with too much money with wives who don't work. Also, being English, I have to admit I'm a little bit ignorant about the whole "Wall Street" thing, I don't really understand what sort of jobs these men do. I did enjoy the second half a little bit more, where Marcy started to stand on her own two feet a little, but overall I wouldn't be tempted to pick up another book by this author.
