I did like Trisha the most, her character reminded me of one of my aunts the way she drank and dated so many different men and my aunt was fun to be around she was closer in age to me and we had good times going to the creek or just driving around. Trisha was the crazy fun loving girl that made her friend Vanessa complete. They remained friends for their entire life. that kind of friendship is hard to find...

Trisha. She's that cool, daring friend. Sister Rosalie is great, but can get a little annoying with all that history stuff.

Trisha stands out as my favorite character. Her unwavering loyalty and courage, especially in protecting Vanessa, make her a character to admire. Her strength and selflessness in the face of immense danger showcase her resilience and commitment to her friend. Sis Rosalie’s humorous and maternal presence is also endearing, adding lightness to the more serious themes in the book.

Vanessa is my favorite character. Her journey, from being abandoned as a child to reinventing herself and building a successful career, is compelling. Her internal struggle with her identity and past adds layers of complexity to her personality.

Easily Vanessa, for her perseverance and exciting exploitation of options she was left with. Then at second place, sits Sister Rosalie.

My favorite character is Trisha. I love how she stood by her friend through thick and thin. Friendships like hers and Vanessa's is quite hard to come by.

I loved the character of Sister Rosalee. She made me laugh throughout the story. She was a great history teacher. She quizzed her students at a moment's notice on history! She loved her students, and her students made Sister Rosalee feel proud.

I honestly fell in love with Trisha. Her unwavering loyalty, friendship, and support honestly blew me away. It made me question myself and the lengths I would go to protect and support my friends. She is my ultimate favorite character.

Trisha. She made me read through this book. The parts about her were the most interesting and least harmful parts of the book.

Sister Rosalie - for the aptitude of sacrifice her dream for a bigger task in this world, that of beeing a real mom for a beautiful soul of a innocent child.

My favorite character was Trisha. She was a true friend and was the calm to Vanessa's anxiety. They were the perfect mixture of opposites attracting. There was no judgement between these two friends, only love and devotion.

It's definitely Trisha and Sister Rosalie. Their love and care for Vanessa is heartwarming. Especially Trisha, the fact that she's been with Vanessa through thick and thin. It's quite rare to find friendship like that.

Trisha. Besides being a loyal friend, she has a certain amount of street smarts that Vanessa lacks. Even though she is a secondary character, Vanessa probably wouldn't have gotten anywhere if it weren't for her.
