![]() ![]() Joy and her roommate, Annie, take Theo as a third housemate to help make ends meet, but then Annie’s boyfriend, Jason, invites her to move in with him. ![]() In an even-more-impressive continuation of the work she began with her debut, The Girl Who Never Read Noam Chomsky (2018), Casale has again taken the detritus of women's inner lives-the things we wished had never happened, the thoughts we wished we'd never had, the endless self-flagellation about our bodies-and made something funny, warm, and compelling something sisterly in the finest sense of the word. “I can’t hear them having sex, but I did hear her say one time, ‘There’s no way I’m doing that.’ And I can’t help but wonder what it is she doesn’t want to do.And if she won’t do it, would I? I don’t think so, but when she said that I wanted to scream out and say, ‘I’ll do it!’ ” This is Joy, who is hopelessly in love with her roommate Theo, who has an exquisitely beautiful girlfriend named Celine who frequently stays over and.yeah. Three young women come to terms with the roles of the men in their lives and the sad fact that they put them there. ![]()
