I think it's a perfect title. Kalayla is at the center of this story. She represents a lot of the issues discussed including race. She is the reason Lena and Maureen bond.

I don't think kalayla was the appropriate title for the book as the story revolves around three women who's stories are also told and not just kalayla's.

I think Kalayla connected all three characters hence the name of this book. I see nothing wrong with the title of this book.

I believe Kalayla is a well-chosen title for this novel. The book circles around all three characters, but I strongly think that it centers mainly around Kalayla. She has a connection with everyone in the book, and I would say that she develops the most, out of all the characters in the book. It is also a unique name, which definitely caught my attention!;)

Kalayla was the one with the most active and came at almost every aspect of the book. I would say the title was appropriate.

The main character of the book is Kalayla, but it's a story about 3 the 3 women. Although the title is OKAY since Kalayla is what brought the other two women together, it would have been a lot better to give it a title suited for what it represents.

Maybe a title that portrays that family relationships are not by blood only.

I think Kalayla is a suitable choice seen as she is the link between all the other characters and the book is mainly about her and how she deals with everything that happens around her. I do not think that any other title would be appropriate this was really very fitting.

I think the title makes you beleive the focus of the book is Kaylayla when in reality Lena and Maureen's stories were strongly relevant throughout the book. However, I like that the title is not complex and does not divulge much about the content of the book.

It's such an interesting title, it's what drew me to the book in the first place. As I read on, I began to understand why it was titled that. Because at the end of the day, all roads lead to Kalayla and how she impacted the lives of everyone in her life. Beginning with her mother, Lena, Grandparents and even her cousin.

In my own opinion, it doesn't tally, the story is centered around 3 women so I see it unjust for the name to center on one person

I feel the title is unjustified. The story is centered on the lives of 3 women, so I feel is unjust that the title should center on one person's name.

The title is appropriate for me. I was even thinking it could be titled "the making of Kalayla" but Kaylayla is fine too.

Why is that? Is it appropriate? Do you have any suggestions for alternative titles?

Well, the title of the book Kalayla seems nice to me since she was one of the most centered protagonists in the book. I really can't think of a title better than it.

The title is fantastic and very okay. Kalayla brought the three women together so I feel the title is appropriate.

Kalayla is the main character remembered once the book is finished so I think it is wholly appropriate that this book is named after her. The other main female characters are called Maureen and Lena which I don't think would sell the book as well
