elseship: an unrequited affair

"Falling in love with your roommate is a horrible idea, but book designer Tree Abraham didn’t plan to – it just happened. When Abraham confessed her love, she was gently but firmly rebuffed; her roommate was straight and didn’t feel the same way. In this lyrical account of the months following that rejection, Abraham documents how, instead of letting this be the end of their friendship, she and her roommate forged something deeper from the awkward space, a complex relationship that included plenty of love. Anyone who has ever found romance and friendship more alike than not will find a deep recognition in these gorgeous pages."
