4.0

It reminded me of The Girls at 17 Swann Street by Zgheib, a closed community with shared secrets and coming to grips with situations that each put themselves in but really couldn't control once things got underway.  Interesting to contrast with Family Family by Frankel, that the choices available were so different not that many years later.
