From the author of Still Life with Husband comes a heartbreaking, honest, deliriously funny new novel about what happens when the perfect balance of a friendship is upended by love.

Best friends Willa and Jane are often mistaken for sisters, a comparison Willa secretly enjoys. They share a small apartment, paying the rent with freelance jobs while waiting for something better to come along. Willa sells flowers and writes advertising copy for a tea company ("The path to enlightenment is steep" and "Oolong! Farewell!"); Jane cleans houses and writes bad poetry about it, rhyming "clog of hair" with "fog of despair." Together they are a fortress of private jokes and shared opinions, so close that there's hardly room for anyone else. Until Willa's closest cohort and confidant from high school-dorky then, handsome and confident now-falls in love with Jane.
