Femme Exotique

During this period, she did not read self-help books or take quizzes in magazines on her compatibility. She was deeply and amazingly happy for the first time in her life. The little college town was not very lively in the summer, but the few friends of hers who were there made excuses to come over and see “our” apartment, told her enviously how good she looked, angled for gory details about her relationship, and made bets with one another on how long it would last.

Please take time out to explain compatibility quizzes. I don't get it.
You are so good at creating fictional people. As I read the installments, it is more like I am reading about real people.
Doug: Sounds like an issure to take up on "Ask Pansi."
T&I: Thank you. I'm glad it seems to be growing on you.
