Good Company by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney
4.0
funny reflective medium-paced

This was my second Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney novel (the first being The Nest) and enjoyed it. I can see why Jenna Bush Hager chose it for her book club for April.

Just like in The Nest, I enjoyed seeing the complicated family and friend dynamics unfold between Flora, Julian, Margot, and David through flashbacks and present day conversations. When I read character driven books, I find that the dual timelines really help move the plot along with the tie ins between the present and the past.

Good Company is based on a simple point, when a lie is discovered, what will happen to the couple and friends involved? 

Best for: reading on the weekend and reading by the pool

For lovers of: contemporary fiction, character driven books, stories that take place in NYC and LA, stories involving actors, and domestic fiction

I highly recommend!
