Eloise and I both read this while we were on our vacations in June. The central drama is around Flora, a voice over actress, and her husband Julian who stars in a police procedural and owns a theater company, the Good Company. She discovers that he has been keeping a secret from her, and that her best friend Margot, the star of a long running Grey’s Anatomy-type series, knew the secret and has also been keeping it from her. The summer that their daughter graduates from high school, everything falls apart and through flashbacks to the beginning of their 20 plus years of friendship, we see how everything came to be.
This book was a very interesting look at fame, success, friendship and the long standing relationships that change over time, but still fall back on those initial years that bind people together. It was a more serious read, but not too heavy, and I really loved how they wove in the flashbacks and tied all of the different pieces together at the end.
