From the bestselling author of The Nest comes another charming yet deceptively sharp tale of friendship, family, and all the things that get in the way of both....This is a perfect book for a quick weekend read--warm, funny, yet full of insight., Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney deploys her signature warmth and wit to plumb the depths of marriage, motherhood and friendship. I devoured it in one gulp! Treat yourself to some Good Company., The vivacious and tender second novel by the bestselling author of The Nest is an absorbing, wise, and tender tale of a marriage in mid-life., Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's rich love story about friends who become family is generous and heartbreaking and true. I loved The Nest and I love Good Company even more., What happens when one accidental discovery changes everything you believe about yourself and the people you love? Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's unforgettable characters are so real, so human, and such good company (pun intended) as they struggle with profound questions about the lines between loyalty and secrecy, self-interest and self-preservation--and in doing so, ask us to do the same. Good Company is a beautifully nuanced meditation on marriage and friendship--their messiness and limitations, but also their boundless capacity for reinvention., Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's Good Company is a smart and nuanced examination of the growing pains of long relationships, sure to spark great conversations about marriage, friendship, and parenthood., "After more than a year of social distancing, who isn't craving some good company? If that's still a few months away for you,Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney has the next best thing: Her new novel, "Good Company.", In 'Good Company,' Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's follow-up to her best-selling 'The Nest,' she deftly and empathetically charts the nuanced rhythms of friendships, particularly those that, under certain circumstances, take on the role of a close-knit family circle., With candor and humor, Good Company tackles big issues--the reckoning between artistic ambition and family life, the strange tension between honesty and loyalty, the way time's inevitable passage affects friendships and romance and our sense of self. Once again, Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney has written a book you'll stay up all night reading., "If I could "go long" on a book the way it works with stocks, I would "go long" on Good Company. (Book Stock Exchange, anyone?) This will absolutely hit the lists due to its combination of approachable, skilled prose from the author of bestseller "The Nest," the fantastic characters, and the universally shared desire to figure out who we really are.", [T]ender and absorbing tale....Filled with humor and insight, Good Company is a warm and incisive novel about loyalty and the bonds of marriage and friendship., This book is SMART. It breathes new life into topics such as love, marriage, parenting, friendship and that old chestnut, betrayal. Set in both an erudite theater-world Manhattan and a golden-hued Hollywood, Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney hits a bullseye with every single scene. Good Company is brilliant company., Sweeney's warm, witty novel plumbs the depths of two marriages. Secrets and resentments abound, but loyalty and abiding affection carry this bicoastal tale of actors finding their way in real life., There are few writers who explore the depths of family and friendship with as much care and nuance as Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, whose new novel is a generous, empathetic portrayal of a marriage and friendship thrown into disarray by an accidental discovery. . . . D'Aprix Sweeney interrogates all that goes into building a life together -- the messiness, the heartache, and the joy., This novel considers how much the bonds of friendship and marriage can withstand in a tale that has as much heart as it does intrigue., Sweeney's effectiveness as a novelist stems from her protean sympathy, her ability to move among these characters and capture each one's feelings without judgment. As we see some of the same events from various points of view, we don't learn who was right -- who could ever be right, after all? -- but we get a poignant, sometimes comic sense of the way we each experience the same events, the same decisions, the same mistakes. In Sweeney's hands, that's not a recipe for endless conflict, but a road to understanding and -- maybe -- forgiveness., You don't need to be a fan of Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's bestseller The Nest to appreciate the high stakes, sly class commentary, and masterful storytelling of Good Company--but it wouldn't hurt.", This effervescent, tender second novel by the bestselling author of The Nest is an enthralling saga of a marriage in midlife and the secrets that threaten to upend it., [A] smoothly constructed story about love, friendship, and trust between two closely connected couples whose relationships go back decades., Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney plumbs the depths of marriage, motherhood and friendship with warmth and wit. I devoured it in one gulp! Treat yourself to some Good Company.
