Good Company by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney

3.0

This novel spotlights two middle-aged couples who have been friends for decades, brought together by Julian's theater company, Good Company. None of them seem very happy; they have all left New York and the theater company behind to pursue careers in Los Angeles. Flora, married to Julian, finds the wedding ring he supposedly lost one summer years ago when she's looking for a photo from that same summer to give as a high school graduation gift to their daughter Ruby. When it turns out that Margot, Flora's best friend, knew about Julian's affair, Flora has to ask herself a lot of questions about both marriage and friendship. Meanwhile Margot is coping with the stress of having her long-time TV series character written off the show, and questioning her marriage to David, whose stroke years ago changed their lives forever. It's an interesting book, and I like the time of life that it explores. I would probably read another by this author.
