You Can't Stay Here Forever by Katherine Lin

When Ellie's husband, Ian, dies in a car accident, she becomes unmoored. Even though they had been a couple since they met at Stanford's law school, they had only been married for several months. Ellie's life is further complicated when she discovers that Ian was having an affair. Ellie impulsively decamps for the French Riviera with her best friend, Mable, using Ian's life insurance money for the trip. While there, Ellie and Mable meet an American couple, Fauna and Robbie, which causes fractures in their relationship with each other and has each woman reflecting on the choices she has made in her life. You Can't Stay Here Forever is a thought-provoking read about race, friendship, success and self-worth.
