I'm so late in reading this, as the Bar took away weeks of my life, but this is gorgeous. You write them both so well, but I absolutely love your Effy. So, so much. Such beautiful insight and imagery, and my personal fave:

In the cocoon of Effy's room they're safe; there, in that strange limbo, they can exist without consequence. It's a place where things don't actually happen and can be forgotten once you leave. Naomi's room is different; it's solid, it belongs in the world. Effy shouldn't be there.
