I would definitely recommend this book to be read. To tell a story through a character’s eyes is a tough job. Micah’s character is very exquisite. She’s a compulsive liar. But re-telling the story, she’s been telling the truth. The way she is starting to come out of her shell is surprising. She is starting to open up to Tayshawn and Sarah. Even though she’s still lying, they still see the truth in her. She is a very different character. In the kissing scene, it didn’t surprise me that Micah kissed back. In reality, girls that look like Micah tend to like girls. Not all girls but its a large number of them. What surprised me is when she kissed Tayshawn.
Tayshawn is the “hot guy” of the school. He’s a much laid back guy. You can tell that he was a true best friend to Zach because he never told his secret about Micah until after he died. He surprised me with the kissing scene at the end of the 1st half of the book. I can say he’s a loyal person.
Sarah is a very emotional girl. She’s cried throughout the whole book, which is very understandable. She had to share a boyfriend with another girl. Any girl would cry after she finds out her boyfriend cheated on her. She didn’t seem like the girl to come at another girl in the beginning of the book. She also surprised me with the kissing scene not only because she kissed another girl and her dead boyfriend’s best friend, but because she started it.

  1. Thoughtful character analysis, Aaron. I'll be interested to hear how or if your opinions of these characters change by the end of the novel.
