Funny book! So this is what it's like to be inside a mind that's ... missing ... something. Marie's "good sense" switch is permanently set to "off." I think she sees when she's about to go off the rails, and is utterly incapable of taking any different action. I'll say this for her, though. She's an optimist.

In Marie's defense, most of the other characters are deeply flawed as well. Oh. Wait. Does that mean that we're all deeply flawed?
