Re: Favorite Character
Compared to the twins and their events at school, do you think her character is as close as that of making "Eenie, meenie, minee, moe" decisions?Laurina_Olowo wrote: ↑02 Sep 2020, 08:53 Kalayla of course. Her character is endearing. I'm not saying I didn't like the others, just that she was the heartbeat of the book

Kalayla is also so smart for her age. It comes out, especially when she's replying to questions rather than speaking out her mind freely.anoushka_thakur wrote: ↑02 Sep 2020, 23:48I agree with your view. Kayala saw so much for her age and went through a lot.Maconstewart wrote: ↑01 Sep 2020, 20:54 My favorite would have to be Kalayla because she went through so much at such an early age. And, I so enjoyed my daughters and their friends during their teens. Even the ones thst have had hardships just seem to have a life force about them that just makes you feel more alive when around them.

Yes, though distinctively, you'd have thought they wouldn't mix to make a good piece. Lena is from a high social status echoing from the Manzetti properties. On the other hand, Maureen and Kalayla have a different background. I believe their troubles make them uniform.AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑04 Sep 2020, 12:17 I like all three perspectives even thought I am not in their shoes I can still relate. I think the author did an excellent job with character development. Each woman served a purpose in the story.

I find Kalayla to be selective and confident. Do you remember that moment when she insists to be told the type of cookies she is getting as pay for helping heave Lena’s luggage up the apartment? She also doesn't fall for any compliment or instruction. Sure, Kalayla is mature for her age. That makes reading the story riveting.

Nicholas is so creative. Kalayla is one unique character who is always camouflaging to match her current situation. Her adventurous, ambitious and sometimes annoying character traits caught up with me. I have to admit there are times I got agitated by her moves, which she then covered up with irony that brought me back to a perfect smile. She's wonderfully showcased.unamilagra wrote: ↑09 Sep 2020, 12:39 I think Kalayla was my favorite as well. Her attitude was sassy and funny, and just so authentically pre-teen. She was also such a good person, although she did her best to hide it sometimes.

Kalayla is also my favourite character. Every scene she's featured is full of drama. I remember how she went silent on Lena for taking her to Rico. Then after uncle Clarence delivered the cookies she decided to go sell them to the same person she was mad at. Luckily, Lena was never holding grudges. But it's clear that Kalayla will always have something to say.Allen Cheque wrote: ↑14 Sep 2020, 18:25 Hands down, my favorite character was Kalayla. Of course, it had to be her. She was funny and entertaining, and she never knew when to keep quiet. She definitely increased my enjoyment of the book.

Kalayla became my favorite after archiving the above subject. She changed Lena's life into something positive.
