Best friends of over twenty years, Tania and Margot are preparing to host their monthly Sunday Loaf dinner party, when Tania tells Margot this isn't working for her anymore--they've been entangled for too long, she wants to "unknow" her. But how do you extricate yourself from someone whose family owns the apartment you live in, who has taken you in as their own, even claims you as their "person"? As Tania attempts to live her life loudly on the outskirts of Margot's bubble, Margot's past betrayals become increasingly clear.

Set in the framework of a tense will-they-won't-they break-up, Tania and Margot's once delicate dance escalates toward an astonishing finale that neither person sees coming. A taut, piercing exploration of race and privilege, codependency, and the ways in which world-defining friendships can be both beautifully and excruciatingly ; life altering,
