THE NOVELLA EDITION
Carol has married Barry, a man she met while he was serving time. When she brings him home to meet her oldest friends, Joan and Steven, an awkward reunion becomes a reckoning with marriage, desire, judgment, and the stories people tell themselves about love.
Then Marco arrives-a man whose history with Barry refuses to remain outside the room. As old loyalties collide with buried intimacy, five people must decide whether good behavior means following the rules or finally telling the truth.
Darkly funny, provocative, and unexpectedly tender, GOOD BEHAVIOR asks who deserves forgiveness, who gets to define a relationship, and what it really means to choose someone-and stay.
This edition presents GOOD BEHAVIOR as a fully realized work of prose fiction.
