For the characters.While JustMe: is Elizabeth's story, she is surrounded by people as quirky (and more so) than your own friends and family. So who do readers like best?
No surprise to Melanie and me, Jessie is getting the majority of the votes. We love Jessie too. Jessie, a hermaphrodite, is first a work acquantance of Elizabeth's and then a friend and for a short time, an apartment mate. Like Elizabeth she tries to fit in by being what people expect her to be, but this means hiding who she is. She tries on different guises -- a woman, a lesbian, an homosexual, a cross-dresser, a man. But as she says she doesn't belong to any team. Like Elizabeth, she is searching for who she is. Jessie's caring and sensitive nature has won readers's hearts. And we root for her.
By the way, the picture is from the 2010 Blobfest.
