they have a lot in common - but where becca was the free spirit, lailah was a bit of a picture of chaos who was constantly trying to express herself in all the wrong ways, until she found art (and even then, she was still finding new and exciting ways to get into as much trouble as possible). i can actually see her being a little envious of becca when they were kids - maybe that manifested into them butting heads in their younger years, but as they grew older, it morphed into them being really close? especially as they both were navigating divorces and all of the baggage that comes along with that. lailah still can't relate on the workaholic 9-to-5 and her choosing to work with their parents, but very much has a "more power to ya" attitude about it all, and would be really proud (and still a little jealous) that becca's able to balance all of that.
