"'I'm going out of my mind,' said Zoё to her younger sister, Evan, in Manhattan." (pg. 353)
I used this quote because I thought it described Zoё perfectly. She is a very odd individual who is eccentric, insecure, selfish, and sarcastic. She randomly tells jokes that aren't really funny to most people, but she finds them hilarious. Zoё has a very bad taste in men as the past three men having been very boring. Someone in my small group today talked about how she is dying slowly internally. I thought this was a pretty accurate description because she acts like it and seems really awkward. When she feels uncomfortable, she uses humor as a defense mechanism. The title is something I don't understand. I know it comes from one of her jokes, but I don't find it funny at all. If someone asks for a second opinion, why would you say that they are ugly?
