"Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it" ~ Jules Renard
The title of this work captures the very essence of major character Zoe. Her life is a an entertaining joke; however, her personality and lifestyle isn't that deep. Her encounters with the naked-women-man are silly and her interpretation of the Midwest, while offensive, are hilarious. And a teacher can't go wrong with reviving class with song and dance (Mr. Keller's singing brightens every test...), but Zoe's personality basically stops there. She doesn't seem content or happy at all, yet she chooses to complain through humor and sarcasm rather than change her life. Instead of admitting fear for planes or insecurities for men, she resorts to complaining. Zoe makes herself miserable, with no hope of change. This intelligent and witty women simply needs to DO something with her life; she needs to go where she will be happy, teach where singers and thinkers are welcomed, and feel pride in herself and her chin hairs. But perhaps she will want a second opinion....
