"You're Ugly, Too"

I found this story to be more humorous in an odd sort of way. No wonder Zoe is single; she doesn't really know how to carry on a normal conversation. And not to mention she almost shoved the guy she was talking the off the 20th floor of an apartment building. I feel like this story in way made fun of "the old cat lady." Zoe is destined to live alone because all of her conversational stories end in either death or extreme heartache, which is a major turnoff for pretty much anyone. Zoe is a mysterious character in that the reader doesn't understand why she does the things that she does and doesn't expect any of her actions either. Evan seems to be the perfect daughter/sister in a sense; whereas, Zoe is kind of the failure. This story had an odd sense of humor.
