Overall rating and opinion of "Kalayla" by Jeannie Nicholas

[Ogechi Okonkwo]

The overall rating I would give to the book kalayla would be a fantastic one because I found the book to be interesting and lovely to read. It does contain that slice of life that I believe everyone needs.

[LS Daniyal]

The author told the story of Kalayla using the perspectives of the three main characters, and I think it was meticulously done. The transition from one perspective to the next was not distracting, rather, it moved the story. The personalities of each character shone during their perspectives, and I appreciate that they felt real and not like puppets on a string. I felt like certain parts should have come with trigger warnings, like the descriptions of traumatic experiences and domestic violence.

I rated the book 5 out of 5 stars. I just enjoyed the way the author presented the story. Family is indeed not just by blood

[Precious Anavheoba]

It deserves complete stars rating. It is a really good book with a powerful narrative. The multiple character narration is done so smoothly without an iota of confusion. The author did such a nice job indeed. The themes cut across race, family, values, upbringing of children, acceptance and abusive marriages amongst other fundamental issues surrounding human interactions.

[Agbata Trust]

Well I think this is a book that focuses on the women gender. I rated it 4 out of 4 stars. I love the setting of the book, the charters development and the main story of the book.

[BenjaminFrank]

I agree with that. I think it is a good message to pass across in this time of racial tension. We are family, despite our differing appearances.

I am in support of this, the World needs healing, we must recognize that broken people cannot really fix things, our different appearances would not so much count if all our hearts are one.

[Stephanie Stones]

I like everything about the book. It has interesting characters, a unique storyline, interesting lessons to be learned and a lot of amazing personalities.

[Success Azuka]

Kaylayla is a sweet story of a young girl whose life can be seen on the streets in reality. I enjoyed the part where she has to visit the old lady. I rate the book five out of five stars.

I rated this book 4 out of 4 stars. The titular character Kalayla proved to be an endearing heroine. I think the author captured the voice of a child very well. The way Lena, Maurice and Kalayla helped one another was heartwarming to read about. I thought the novel blended happiness and sadness beautifully. Nicholas has skillfully shown some of the best and worst of humanity. While there were some things that felt a bit too coincidental, overall, I thought that the story was well crafted.
