Blythe is the story about two women who share a friendship which is in truth a symbiotic bond between the two where one needs attention and the other feels good about being needed by another whom she deems in certain ways better or superior in some ways.

Groff has an unnaturally canny way of gliding her readers through her stories. That happens here too. We are given hints and backstories as to why these women might have really formed a friendship and a wonderful portrayal of the human nature being dependent on the mould set in by childhood.
