From the New York Times bestselling author of What’s Mine and Yours, a rich, panoramic exploration of friendship, class, new motherhood, and independence
Val and Milly fell in love with France at the same time they fell in love with each other and became immediate best friends. Then, they bonded as the only Black students on a study-abroad trip. Now they are in their thirties, each married and with a baby girl on the way. When Milly suggests Val move to New York so they can raise their daughters together after a decade apart, it’s a resounding yes.
Despite their excitement, the pair secretly wonders if their friendship has always worked best as a trio. On that first trip to France, these two motherless daughters were taken under the wing of an older woman named Helene. She showered them with money, love, and attention and showed them the possibilities of an independent and abundant future. But now, without Helene and her guidance, who are Milly and Val?
Milly, a successful influencer married to restaurant royalty, is occupied with her desire for freedom. Val, a brilliant journalist, is unsure whether she fits into Milly’s new world. The realities of class and social capital, of strained marriages and the demands of motherhood, serve as constant reminders of how far apart they’ve grown. And no matter how much they try to avoid it, everything comes back to the rift that began all those years ago in France. What they’ve long tried to bury may finally destroy their sisterhood.
Weaving between Brooklyn brownstones and the glittering beaches of southern France, Take What You Can is a dazzling novel exploring what it means to be a mother when you have none, a sister without blood ties, and a woman in pursuit of the life she wants. With her signature sharply observed prose, Naima Coster illustrates how to be—and to stay—someone’s person through all phases of life.]]>https://pima.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C12424078https://pima.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C12424078Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://pima.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/12424078980EBOOKenghttps://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&userID=TPPL101&password=CC85701&Value=9780593833285&content=M&Return=1&Type=Mhttps://pima.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S91C1882025https://pima.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S91C1882025Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMThttps://pima.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1882025091BKenghttps://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&userID=TPPL101&password=CC85701&Value=9781503941175&content=M&Return=1&Type=Mhttps://pima.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C14027273https://pima.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C14027273Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://pima.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/14027273981EBOOKenghttps://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&userID=TPPL101&password=CC85701&Value=9781538702352&content=M&Return=1&Type=Mhttps://pima.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S91C2053820https://pima.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S91C2053820Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://pima.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2053820091BKA Novelenghttps://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&userID=TPPL101&password=CC85701&Value=9781538702345&content=M&Return=1&Type=MGOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK

"A once-every-few-years reading experience."—Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes
"Coster portrays her characters’ worlds with startling vitality. As the children fall in lust and love, grapple with angst and battle the tides of New South politics, Coster’s writing shines"—New York Times Book Review
From the author of Halsey Street, a sweeping novel of legacy, identity, the American family—and the ways that race affects even our most intimate relationships.
A community in the Piedmont of North Carolina rises in outrage as a county initiative draws students from the largely Black east side of town into predominantly white high schools on the west. For two students, Gee and Noelle, the integration sets off a chain of events that will tie their two families together in unexpected ways over the next twenty years.
On one side of the integration debate is Jade, Gee's steely, ambitious mother. In the aftermath of a harrowing loss, she is determined to give her son the tools he'll need to survive in America as a sensitive, anxious, young Black man. On the other side is Noelle's headstrong mother, Lacey May, a white woman who refuses to see her half-Latina daughters as anything but white. She strives to protect them as she couldn't protect herself from the influence of their charming but unreliable father, Robbie.
When Gee and Noelle join the school play meant to bridge the divide between new and old students, their paths collide, and their two seemingly disconnected families begin to form deeply knotted, messy ties that will shape the trajectory of their adult lives. And their mothers—each determined to see her child inherit a better life—will make choices that will haunt them for decades to come.
As love is built and lost, and the past never too far behind, What's Mine and Yours is an expansive, vibrant tapestry that moves between the years, from the foothills of North Carolina, to Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Paris. It explores the unique organism that is every family: what breaks them apart and how they come back together.]]>https://pima.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C5605285https://pima.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C5605285Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://pima.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5605285980EAUDIOBOOKenghttps://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&userID=TPPL101&password=CC85701&Value=9781549156908&content=M&Return=1&Type=M
