Hardback. Condition: Good. For the audience that made Commencement a New York Times bestseller comes a novel about women making their way in the world. Four young women are thrown together as roommates freshman year in college: Ruth, Francesca, Opal, and Setsu. Each is striving to overcome struggles from childhood and find her true self. Tormented by self-doubt, Ruth is coddled by her immigrant mother, who uses food to soothe and control her. Defiant Francesca believes her heavy frame shames her Park Avenue family; to provoke them, and to protect herself, she consumes everything in sight. Opal longs to be included in her glamorous, adventure-seeking mother's dinner dates--until a disturbing encounter forever changes her desires.

As their stories and appetites collide, these women make a pact to maintain their friendships into adulthood--but each must first find strength and her way in the world. READERS GUIDE INSIDE.…
