Shaunie is one of Emira’s friends. She is roommates with Josefa. She is successful in her career and earns a promotion to associate marketing specialist at Sony Philadelphia midway through the novel. Above all, though, Shaunie is upbeat, reliable, fun, and a great friend. Her parents are very wealthy and help with her finances—her father cosigned her lease, for example—but she is always generous with her wealth and often treats her friends to drinks and nights out. Still, Emira sometimes feels bitter about how much easier things seem for Shaunie because of this extra layer of financial stability. Meanwhile, Shaunie’s privilege leaves her ignorant about many of Emira’s financial anxieties.
