Kaylala is the most suitable title, being the youngest among the three women

Kaylala is the main character in the book because she is the reason why the other two women were brought together.

The title is perfect because the book was built around Kalayla. I see no reason why it shouldn't be her name as the title. Also, the title was concise.

At first I also thought it would be appropriate if the title was something else. As the story deals with three women alternatively. But as the story progresses the main focus was always Kalayla so I didn't mind it at all.

I think the title is very well thought out, and it is the right one. I mean, why not. Kalayla is the name of the protagonist after all and she is a very interesting character, bringing smiles and frowns of worry to the faces of the readers.

Th story surrounded the life of Kalayla. Most of the stories had a link, directly and indirectly, to Kalayla, so it didn’t seem out of the place for the author to name the book after her.

I'll also want to agree with your opinion but then let's check it from the point that Kalayla was the girl that got the other three women together and set the story rolling. Through her, we got to know more about other characters and events were unfolded.

I think the author is in the best position to answer this question however, I still think the name of this book is appropriate as Kalayla was the main character that connect all other characters in the story. I really can't think of any title that fits better.

On first glance, it would seem like Kalayla isn't then best title, but when you think about it, nothing fits more perfectly. Kalayla is them main person, and liking factor in this book. Imagine her mother had not given birth to her, I'm sure the book wouldn't have happened or we all wouldn't have enjoyed it. The book might have not even had an happy ending.

I would say the title is very unique. It was intriguing enough what's the content of the book.

Kalayla is ok... All actions in the book and every other characters started and was introduced through her.

It is quite correct as she is the one who links all the characters in the story.

I do not think the title of the book is justified, because the book does not only center on Kaylayla

I think the title is perfect because it focused mainly on the girl, Kalayla, so it could not have been named any better. I really can't find any other name more suitable for it than this one.
