Description
This novella is a realist fiction project that works to show the relationship of two
young girls, Mary and Ginny. Mary is the main character and she delivers the narrative in
first person, present tense, though in a slipstream, retrospective style. The narrative
follows the two girls’ relationships to their bodies and each other as they move into
adulthood. Mary is enthralled by Ginny and they each find comfort in the other’s fatness.
Ginny’s eating disorder begins to progress as Mary’s declines, and their friendship
deteriorates as a result.
