Despite both being heterosexual, she and herbest friend Sophie, who went to college together at Vassar, considerthemselves to be like an old, married, lesbian couple who dont havesex with each other. Frances stumbles from one situation to another,both in her professional and personal lives, in her expectations andher abilities not always matching each other. In some respects, shestays true to her slightly off-kilter visions without the understandingthat she doesnt have the abilities to meet those visions. In otherrespects, she sells herself short, such as she and a male friend, Benji,kidding each other that they are both undatable, while deep in theirhearts they wouldnt mind dating each other. One thing that Francesdoes realize is that she has to work to survive in expensive NewYork, shes unable to rely on her parents for that financial support.The question then becomes if Frances will be able to find that rightbalance for her life in New York.
