bitter cynthia

I wanted to just say something about my favorite part of the book Bet Me, which is where Cynthia and David have an argument about Cal and Min being together. I find it funny that Cynthia is so jealous of Min and she is obviously frustrated. She has such a high self-esteem and she wanted to marry Cal after dating for a while but he left her. The fact that he fell for a woman less attractive then she is seems crazy to her. She acts like she can get any man she wants and goes on saying she's this great catch that losing a man like Cal is frustrating. David, in this argument, tells her off and just points out that Cynthia, this "perfect" woman, loses Cal to the woman he "loved" and they argue about not getting any and it is this big deal. When it shouldn't matter as much as they act it does. I think that argument goes well with what we talked about in class today as well. David and Cynthia are sexually frustrated and I found it really funny that David left Min because he wasn't getting laid... and he is without Min now still doesn't get any like he'd hope.
