Yaser and Nadia have things in common though. :D :D They are both annoying at times but I consider them as beautiful people.
Nadia was less annoying, though. And she did fight for her rights!

I agree with many here, Nadia was the most relatable and likable. Being independent, determined, and fighting for her rights in the type of society she lived in makes her a strong character. I do also agree I was sooo mad for a few minutes with her when she decided to lie to her son and go to Verona without him. I'm happy that she changed her mind, but I was so surprised that it even crossed her mind since the whole point of the trip was to travel with her son for the first time.

Elias's story was too unrelatable and hard to identify with. Then Yaser was just annoying and complained too much without actually trying to solve his problems that I didn't like him from the start.

I agree. I was also made with Nadia for lying to her son and thought she should have been honest with him.

Elias was my favourite character. His struggle was intense and to me, he put in the most effort compared to the other two characters to find a solution to his problems. Although his expectations were not met I think this was a good wake up call for him to face reality and consider a relationship with Veronica whom he seems to get along with extremely well.

Nadia is my favorite character, she is an independent and intelligent strong woman and I love the fact that she is ready to do anything for the happiness of her son. From the other minor characters,I choose Malika, I think she was a determined lady and she was ready to go to any length to pursue her dreams.

Nadia for sure. She refused to allow the men in her life to dominate her. Unfortunately, she is from a male-dominated culture and has no control over some things. I was so angry when her son wasn't allowed to travel with her!

Nadia is the one character I connected with most. She was courageous. Coming from a deep rooted cultural country I understand what's like to stand against your culture. For Nadia to defy culture and build a life of her own it's an act of courage.

My favorite was Malika, I really enjoyed watching her grow and seeing her really connect with someone non-sexually and become finally free.

I agree with this - liked her for her strength and boldness in a society that would shun her for it.

I also choose Nadia. Like most mothers, her world revolved around her son, and she would do anything and everything in her power to give him a good life.

I like Nadia because she is a strong person who fought for her rights as a woman. She is a good example to those people who were in the abusive relationship.

I loved malika too with her childhood dreams .i loved the part when she become the english malika , How she was choosing her clients that would help her in learning. I have been inspired by her new mature character .how she believed her dreams .insist on learning and getting out from the shadow of her parents and her miserable live , and how she ended up with elias .she is my favourite !

Nadia is my favorite too because it takes a lot of courage to master the kind of bravery she had

Most certainly Nadia. Her character type is my favorite, chaotic good. She had her own moral compass in which she held over all else including law or rule. She would not allow any man take advantage of her or her son. I admire her passion and drive. She is definitely an inspirational character and I wish I could be more courageous like her.
