It’s good to have her love life resolved, checked off, done. She isn’t sure which college yet, but it will have a strong political science department, since her perfect boyfriend, Simon, plans to “save the country,” as his sister puts it, “and the planet and everything.” Zoe will follow along, the perfect serious, supportive girlfriend. Her mental checklist goes something like this: 1) Meet soulmate: DONE! 2) Make commitment: DONE! 3) Marriage: TO COME! (after college). She has faith in a properly organized to-do list and avoids unnecessary risks. In Zoe Rosenthal Is Not Lawful Good, a buttoned-up overachiever works overtime to keep her inner nerd at bay-failing spectacularly-in Nancy Werlin’s hilarious and heartfelt return to contemporary realistic fiction. Planning is Zoe Rosenthal’s superpower.
