Take What You Can by Naima Coster is a literary novel about the complicated, enduring friendship between Milly and Val, two Black American women who first meet while studying abroad in France. They quickly become best friends and are taken under the wing of Helene, an older American woman who becomes an important maternal figure in both their lives.

Fourteen years later, Milly and Val are in their thirties, married, and expecting baby girls. Milly, now a successful lifestyle influencer in New York, invites Val to move there so they can raise their daughters together. Val, a journalist in North Carolina working on her first book, eagerly accepts the opportunity to reunite their families.

As they become neighbors again, however, their different circumstances begin to strain their friendship. Class, wealth, marriage, motherhood, career ambitions, and personal independence force both women to reconsider what they expect from one another. Meanwhile, an unresolved rupture from their years in France threatens to reshape their relationship permanently.
