Story:
This is my first book by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney, but I’ve seen the love that other readers have for her novel, The Nest. I was excited to read a book by her that is not in my typical genres. Good Company is about two marriages - Flora and Julian’s and Margot and David’s. Flora’s life is forever changed when she finds her husband’s wedding ring that he claims he lost one summer many years ago.

I enjoyed reading about the lives of these characters. I particularly enjoyed reading about the Hollywood aspect of the story (Margot is a TV star and Flora a voiceover actress). This is very much a character-driven story that analyzes marriages, regrets, life decisions, and missed opportunities. It is not a fast-paced story, but it is an interesting one.

Narration:
Marin Ireland is one of my favorite narrators and I know that I enjoyed this novel more because of her performance. She always elevates the material, especially with these more character-driven stories (notably her performance with Anxious People by Fredrick Backman). Ireland brings each character to life and conveys all of the emotions they feel throughout this sprawling tale.

ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
