I don't think I have a favorite character. Ms. Jenkins seems like a nice woman, but really doesn't have a central role in the story.

A favorite character...I like Ms. Jenkins, but it is hard to judge since she isn't central. I think Eva is sweet, naive, but nice. It seems like she has a kind heart and thinks about others. When Alex messes up, she doesn't stick around, which I like that about her. Though, I do think she jumped into a relationship with Alex pretty fast and maybe this had an effect on he viewed her - kind of easy. Maybe I'll just stick with Ms. Jenkins, then.

My favorite was Eva. I loved her ambition and her dream to be a lawyer for the underdogs. She wasn't a stuck-up rich girl. She was a genuine, good person who I found myself relating to.

I agree-well said!BookishBookkeeping wrote:I know not much character development went into the two bad guys Alex goes after but I did dislike them the most. Through them the author reminds us how some people make their millions by selling other people. Human trafficking is our modern day slavery and is happening all over the world. This leads me to my most liked character or should I say characters. They are Charlie and Carlos. These people are simple and caring of others. They show Alex what it means to think about others instead of just yourself.

Eva was my favorite. She had goals and she was intelligent. I was so angry when he cheated on her and admired her for walking away.
It also haunted me when the hotel girl got killed for no reason other than going out with the wrong guy.

It's harder to pick a favorite character, since the people who have actual redeeming qualities are only minor characters. I think Eva is my favorite character because she's kind, selfless, and has good intentions, but also because she does not stay with Alex after he wrongs her, which to me shows that she values herself more than her toxic relationship with him.
