I just loved Roxy in this book. She’s a great counter character to Steve’s indecisive moment. Plus she loves him until the very end when his constant pushing her away makes her unfaithful in spite of their love for each other. What do you think?

For me, Roxy did what every other lady will do because she has seen the danger ahead of the decision Steve has taken. i believe her fear for leaving Steve is for her not to lose her life. her decision was not totally wrong from my own point of view.

Roxy, too, has a flaw in this. Steve thought he could make a difference, but Roxy got cold feet and told him to tap out. Despite the fact that it was mostly his decision, she lost faith in him just when he needed her the most.

In my own opinion, I don't like her. She is not a sacrificial friend. Leaving Steve when she was needed most made me feel somehow about her.

I liked Roxy also but I considered her a minor barrier to Steve's success. She didn't give Steve the motivation he needed due to fear.

Roxy is loved because of her beauty and not her character. She is manipulative to Steve.

She is just manipulative. Too much egoistic. I believe her presence in demonstrations is more of a recreational activity to her than an activism activity.

I think that Roxy is a character with a strong sense of peace. It was exemplary of her to want to make a difference.

Although Roxy was aware of the risks associated with Steve's choice, she acted as any other woman would, in my opinion. I think her greatest worry is losing her life because of Steve. From my personal perspective, her choice was not entirely incorrect.
