  1. .Summary

    Genre: Fictional autobiography

    →Sarah and her roommate Margaret live together. They have totally different characteristics; however, they have one thing in common that is they try to fight against the current society and jump out of the stereotypes towards women. Both have boyfriends but still want to taste the forbidden fruit. At the end of Fine Points, Sarah gains her epiphany that she understands ‘’an imaginary kiss is better than a real one.’’ Margaret is completely opposite from Sarah’s point of view. That’s the same difference.
