Jill is a little in love with her best friend Chloe and a little terrified to say anything to her about it, even though their roommate Sarah is both convinced that the feelings are mutual and sick to death of waiting for one of them to make a move. When the gang's New Year's Eve party ends with one hook-up, one not-quite-hookup, and one not-quite-breakup, everyone is left re-examining what they thought they knew about themselves and each other.

BIFL is expectations, different shades of intimacy, & what it really means to love someone. Blood family versus found family & how toxic relationships can both manifest & disguise themselves. How identities intersect, how labels can matter but don't have to, & how perception isn't always reality.
