Good Company / Cynthisa D'Aprix Sweeney, 310 pgs.
Flora has the world by the tail, happily married, good friends, a lovely daughter...but then she makes a discovery. The wedding ring that her husband claimed to have lost while swimming in a pond is actually in an envelope in their file cabinet. This can't be good, can it? He made a big deal of losing it in the pond and people spent time looking for it. Of course, it isn't good news. But in addition to shining a light on his duplicity, Flora discovers that her best friend Margot also knew about this. Now Flora is on verge of losing them both - or choosing to ditch them both. This book highlights the issues that arise even with something that occurred in the distant past. I like the way the author reveals enough of each character that we really understand where they come from. The supporting crew here, Ruby, the daughter and a former therapist are fantastic even though they are briefly included.
