| Summary |
When Sally, Bree, April, and Celia meet during first-year orientation, they quickly bond as they navigate the tricky rules of their new home: no "girl-on-girl" showers before 10 a.m.; no meat in the dining hall unless it has a vegan sidekick; no (well, some) clothes during the opening convocation ceremony. As best friends, all their glories and foibles come to light, including Sally's lurid affair with an aging professor and Bree's switch from straight to gay despite her family's frowning disapproval. All postcollege transitions are also captured, from one-night stands to grad schools, first jobs and first homes, a wedding and a baby. When April, the radical in the group, begins to work with her idol, a "divisive" feminist known for extreme tactics, a secondary plot about human trafficking emerges, switching the mood from nostalgia to suspense. |
