Francesca was one of Jude, Willem, JB, and Malcolm’s suitemates in college. Francesca, Marta, and Edie—who are all lesbians—were in a band together called Backfat. They used to participate in protests and hold unconventional jobs. Now, Francesca and Marta have settled down together and live a more conventional life, and JB hates how tame they’ve become since their college days.
