Review "[T]errific wit and inventiveness…Now thats entertainment." — Wall Street Journal"Sweeneys effectiveness as a novelist stems from her protean sympathy, her ability to move among these characters and capture each ones feelings without judgment. As we see some of the same events from various points of view, we dont 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 Sweeneys hands, thats not a recipe for endless conflict, but a road to understanding and — maybe — forgiveness." — Washington Post"Sweeneys 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." — New York Times Book Review, Editors Choice"In Good Company, Cynthia DAprix Sweeneys 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." — Boston Globe"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." — O, the Oprah Magazine"Cynthia DAprix Sweeneys 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." — Real Simple"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." — Good Housekeeping"You dont need to be a fan of Cynthia DAprix Sweeneys bestseller The Nest to appreciate the high stakes, sly class commentary, and masterful storytelling of Good Company—but it wouldnt hurt. — Town & Country"[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." — BookRiot"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." — Oprah Daily"[P]ropulsive, character-steeped story of two best friends." — Vanity Fair"If I could "go long" on a book the way it works with stocks, I would "go long" on Good Company.
