Alex is the leader of the group. She is the glue that kept this threesome together in high school and beyond. Alex loves to fix problems, but sometimes fixing other people’s problems is easier than fixing her own. However, she’s willing to accept help from her friends and family when she can’t see a situation clearly. Although Alex seems together and self-assured at times, like any woman in her mid-twenties, she’s still discovering who she is and what kind of life she wants to be living.
 Alex works for a small, funky music PR firm. It’s a fantastic job since she gets to hobnob with up-and-coming bands and occasionally superstars. She likes her job and it has a lot of perks, but she’s impatient. She’s ready to make her mark on the world and can’t wait for her moment to shine. (Which her friends know will happen sooner rather than later.) |

Lizzie has always been the ‘good girl,’ ‘the reliable one,’ ‘everyone’s best friend.’ In high school, Lizzie was always the one who could be counted on to join in on whatever hairbrain scheme Diane or Alex cooked up. She’s a best friend to both of them.
Lizzie has always had a conflicted relationship with her body. On the one hand, her body’s always served her well and she’s never had any lack of male attention. On the other hand, she feels small and tomboyish and gets frustrated when people treat her like a little kid. Part of Lizzie’s development as a person is going to have to include learning to accept herself as she is and not trying so hard to fit into everyone else’s idea of perfection. Lizzie has no idea what she wants to do for a living. Her latest career “scheme” is working at the front desk of a big fancy expensive gym. She can’t afford the membership, so she ends up taking a job there so she can use the facilities for free. |

In high school , Diane was efficient and organized. In her 20’s Diane is efficient and organized. She seeks comfort in order. She feels like everything has its proper place, even her emotions. Her world is black-and-white. Diane needs to learn to appreciate the greys. And, with the help of her more flexible friends, she’s getting there, slowly but surely.
Diane works really hard as an investment banker. Her lifestyle is more structured and demanding than those of her friends, but she’s also making more money and has more of a life plan. Diane gets what she needs emotionally from her roommates and her job keeps her busy. She’s looking for the right guy, but not looking very hard. She thinks that because she has a master plan — married at 32, kids by 35 — she doesn’t have to put herself out there in terms of dating. She’s wrong. And her friends help her see that. |
