Book Review of Good Company: A Novel

Good Company: A Novel
VolunteerVal avatar reviewed on + 646 more book reviews


The stunning jacket illustration and double-meaning title may be the best parts of Good Company, the sophomore novel by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney. It asks the age-old question: If you could relive portions of your life, would you make different decisions? And if so, how would the revised decisions alter your current life?

This character-driven novel explores two marriages as well as the relationships among the four adults and one couple's 18-year-old daughter. While the plot isn't compelling, I was interested in the characters whose professional lives as actors in theater and television are completely different from my own. Thank you to Ecco for the review copy.
