adjusted among us keep those things under control
What is the sentiment of the majority of the moments in the book?
There's a little of Bernadette in all of us - the ranger, the avoider, the snob, the artist.  The well-adjusted among us keep those things under control, and that's how Bernadette differs. She hardly ever tries -  and never very hard - to suppress her urges. Thank goodness, or we wouldn't have such a good time reading about her. You'll find something to laugh about no matter what your own beliefs and convictions happen to be. Read this!
