Alice was by far the best, I think. She always managed to keep her calm and was mostly friendly.

Alice - I thought - stood out among all the other characters. Her calm and friendly nature can endear her to most readers.

Everyone has his or her own opinion but according to my opinion Alice is my favorite character and she is the protagonist of the novel

I think I liked Jennifer the most as I felt as though I was struggling with her throughout the novel. She came across as brave and sometimes bold which I loved.

I don't have a favorite character. None of them really stood out to me. If I had to choose, I guess it'd be Alice, but really only because she's the only other character besides Jennifer that we spend a lot of time with.

To be honest, i have no favourite character in this book. It was perhaps because i didn't like the book in the first place.

I like Marty because he is a round character. He had to accept quite a lot of change for him to remain with Jennifer. He changed his sexual lifestyle just to be with her.

It may not have been morally right in my eyes but I guess he wanted a committed heterosexual relatonship. Therefore, he was willing to accept difference.

I definitely preferred Alice over Jennifer. She seemed more interesting and fleshed out, not to mention less cliched as a character.

I don't think any of the characters developed well enough to stand out. Alice was the one I considered to be most relatable, so I go with her.
