Nicky- I loved Nicky. I thought she was a really strong character. I think she had charater in the book, which made it really interesting.

Charlotte-I liked Charlotte from the moment she showed up at the door . I’m not sure why I felt so attached to her, I guess it was because she was so vulnerable and down, and I felt bad for her.

Robert (Nicky's Dad)I didn’t really like Robert from the beginning. I didn’t like how he handled things. I thought that he wasn’t a very interesting character in the story. He was dull.
