I'll be damned. The friend, a female, was actually relatively logical.

As it states at the end of the article, the Typist has a book to sell that has to appeal to female readers. All Female Typists type to maximise their likeability, because social approval is all to a woman. As such, her life will mysteriously resemble a rom-com.

I guarantee you that her 'female friend' is a fictional device used to frame the story, because narcissists believe their life is a movie, and chicks in rom coms always have a bestie without an external life of her own who can instantly drop all other concerns and listen patiently to the minutiae of their romantic ups and downs.

Feel the verisimilitude.
