Yeah, no. I can say for certain that there's just as many, if not more teen girls who would dump a guy for being a drunken dick before worrying about him getting fat.
Zoey actually reminds me more of Ever from Evermore. She's not QUITE as sociopathic as Bella (not yet) and seems surrounded by horrible people, but she's so wangsty and cliched that it's hard to like her very much. Of course, this is just the first chapter I have a terrible feeling that things are going to go even farther downhill though.
I liked how Rowling described her characters, if only because she didn't solely rely on infodumps. For example, Ron described Harry as "a midget in glasses" and Fred and George said he was a "specky, scrawny git", so we know he's a little guy. Things like that. Not to mention, she kept it simple. Dark hair and green eyes. Bushy brown hair. Red hair and freckles. Simple.
Thanks! I seriously think Child of Grace desensitized me to whiny prose. All I can think is "At least there aren't nine million fragments in a row". And I also can't wait to see how this pans out. It's like watching a train wreck unfold. XD
