Character Study: Courtney Lawrence

Courtney Lawrence is a rather unintelligent friend of Patrick's who is also dating Luis Carruthers, another friend of Patrick's. Patrick is also having an affair with her. She seems to feel no guilt in doing this, neither does Patrick, but also extremely emotionally unstable. She cried during sex with Patrick for no apparent reason. She also seems to have a bit of a drug problem, abusing lithium frequently and presumably abusing Xanax as well. Patrick and Courtney seem to be interested in each other purely at a surface level, with attraction based solely off of physical appearances. She is decently nice, and will probably be a character who reappears frequently in this novel.
