Josh is a young man and friend to both Enid and Rebecca. Josh is first introduced nearly halfway through the book when Enid begs him to accompany her into Adams II, a pornography store. The store makes Josh feel extremely uncomfortable, which shows that Josh is a very conventional person compared to Enid and Rebecca. Later, Enid and Rebecca ask Josh to help them play a trick on a man who placed a personal advertisement in a magazine. Josh eventually agrees to drive them to meeting place but does so only reluctantly, which shows that Josh is at least somewhat more moral than Enid and Rebecca. Both Enid and Rebecca are romantically interested in Josh, and Josh is romantically interested in both of them. However, Josh ultimately dates Rebecca.
