Friendly Dynamics
Three couples, one city, and the age-old question: can men and women really be friends?
Elliot and Olivia never planned on moving to Las Vegas—the hot, flashy city isn’t their style. But Olivia decides Elliot's lucrative new job as a partner at Huxley & Hayes Law Group is the perfect opportunity to stop dreaming and finally write a novel. Hard-working Elliot is determined to succeed at his firm—and make his wife happy. What he’ll soon find out is that Olivia’s ambitions go beyond bestsellers: unlike him, she longs to have a baby.
After only three years of marriage, strong-willed Christine has lost confidence in her relationship. While her self-indulgent husband Ryan sees their arguments and long periods of silence as normal challenges, Christine lies awake at night wondering if Ryan is truly the right man for her—or if she’s made a grave error.
When the two couples meet at a dinner party thrown by Nora, a well-meaning if meddling insider, and her husband Thomas, everyone’s elated that the six of them hit it off. What they’re not expecting: that Elliot and Christine, drawn together by shared interests and a similar desire to live a simple life, immediately strike up a friendship.
Except it’s platonic, as both Christine and Elliot insist. And over coffee, dinners, and bookstore browsing, they will debate just whether men and women can be friends. But when Christine turns up on Elliot’s doorstep after Ryan drops a bombshell that threatens to crumble their marriage—lighting up the neighborhood with speculation--the couples will face life-altering choices that will redefine their relationships with their spouses…and each other.
Examining the dynamics of marriage and friendship, FRIENDLY DYNAMICS explores the risks and rewards of letting others into your life.
