Whether she is screaming at Earl for wrecking her car or calmly filing divorce papers, she maintains the agency of a woman who knows that love is a gamble—but she’s willing to buy a ticket every time. Her romantic storylines, both real and imagined, are compelling precisely because they are messy, loud, and unapologetically human.
