Dot in the universe

the long version

"It's your worst nightmare: instead of being dead, you're alive!" "Seen from above, Dot is just another dot, barely distinguishable from a bug, a berry, or gum on the pavement." "Up close, she has a magnificent but mysterious hubby, a collection of tea cosies swiped from old ladies, and the perfect face for her era: tight-lipped, pointy-nosed, pink-skinned, blonde-haired. She also has a Fatal Flaw. So Dot decides to End It All." "But Dot blows it!"--BOOK JACKET.
