Over time, Faith becomes Greer’s professional mentor and idol of sorts. Faith hands Greer her business card, and Greer gets in touch soon after to apply for a job at Faith’s magazine.

Greer Kadetsky arrives at Ryland College, her safety school (her parents screwed up her financial aid application to Yale), without a vision for her future.
