The nerd squad or Glenn. Kind of a tie. Everyone else didn't really do it for me - they all seemed flaw and unrealistic.

I liked Glenn. He seemed more level-headed than the other characters, and I liked his interactions with Tim and Garth, as well as with Cynthia.

Glenn, Tim and Garth all had really natural-sounding dialogue most of the time, as opposed to the love triangle characters. they were the only ones who progressed the plot, and even though the plot wasn't that good and not much stuff made sense, it was kind of fun to read their interactions. the story flowed so much better when the spotlight was on them.

you could take Cynthia, Dan and Sky out completely and i wouldn't have a problem. the book would be so much more to the point, as well. their plotline took up so much of the book, which wouldn't be such a problem if it hardly had anything to do with the main plot of the story!!

That is definitely a first on the Sky selection.
I did not like him, but that's just me.
He did come off as needy at times so I can see why.

I liked Glenn the most. He was sweet and protective and just overall a decent character.

Glenn and the nerd squad were my favorites. I liked the core of who they were written to be, though sometimes the way they talked threw me off (I think one of them said "Gee Wiz" and "Golly" at one point, which is just not realistic for college age kids in my experience.) I liked how highly they regarded each other and thought their portion of the story line was the most interesting to read.

Cynthia was my favorite. She has many flaws, made bad choices here and there, as we all do.

Cythia is my favourite character. She was rather annoying at times, but she is brave and courageous.

I liked Cynthia's good-natured brother Glenn, and the computer geeks Tim and Garth. Cynthia, Sky and Dan were a no-no for me.

There is no doubt in my mind that Cynthia is my favorite character because like none other, she exhibits a complicated love life making the storyline so captivating.

I think almost the same. The "Love Triangle" and all its participants are very strange. Glenn, Tim and Garth were the most alive characters.

I'm leaning towards Glenn. Felt that whenever he was in the picture, through him, marked the only times I could actually sit back and enjoy Cynthia's character. I liked Dan for like the first third of the novel, then it went blegh, downhill from there. Sky kind of made my skin crawl.

They didn’t have a big role in this book, but I liked Juliette and Mike when they helped Cynthia get to the clinic. Funny that the only man in the office was the one to recognize she was having a miscarriage. Juli knew just what to do - and not do - when she visited Cynthia at the clinic. She just let her grieve. If I had to pick one, it would be Juli.
