Who is Chloe's best friend as noted in the memoir, Easy Beauty?

Kate is Chloé's best friend. After the friends finish their undergraduate degrees, they move in together in a house back in Kansas. They spend the majority of their time either lying around talking, or drinking at the local bar. Although they do not still live in the same place in the present, they remain in touch. Chloé frequently contacts Kate when she is feeling frustrated, humiliated, or lost. Because they have known each other so long, Kate understands Chloé like few others.
