In November 2022, Lilly had an idea that she couldn’t un-have. In February 2023, she put up 400 flyers around New York City asking strangers to apply to be her friend.
The flyers said “Do you want to make a new friend?” and directed people to a website with a questionnaire. Seventy people filled it out. Lilly interviewed 24 of them.

Lilly meets three people who've found their place by standing apart. Lucas explains how American cities are designed to atomize people and shares his Forrest Gump walking moment, Marley discusses riot grrrl feminism and why she's not an ugly man respecter, and Erika reveals what it's like being the black sheep who moved out during the pandemic. Plus, Lucas dreams of goats in West Virginia, and everyone agrees that sometimes the clearest view comes from standing outside looking in.
