Rich and Pretty by Rumaan Alam, 2016

Image result for happy and pretty rumaan alamA story of childhood best friends who are in their early 30s now.  Sarah and Lauren don't have much in common, but have known each other for so long, they are like sisters.

Sarah is engaged and appalled by some of Lauren's actions, while Lauren believes Sarah to be a bit conservative and typical.  They know each other so well, that they only can only share certain things with each other to get honest feedback.

Written by a male, it captures the nuances of a female best friendship, including women vacationing together but does have the male voice carry over with frank descriptions of sex.

Very readable, but having started a A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles, I realize the difference between a good book (this one) and a very good (i.e. literary) book.
