Lonely Girl’s Love Song

Carter is a young adult, desperate to escape the loneliness of her home, filled with her emotionally unavailable, artistic aunt, and thirty-year old deadbeat cousin. She attempts to achieve this through the writings of Sylvia Plath and the fantasy of her girlfriend, Olive, who, in the words of Plath, she “fears she made up inside her head.” By the end, Carter finds solace in the acceptance that being alone, doesn’t have to be lonely, and that she is enough.
