Do you think Suzanne Dillon is relatable?
Do you think the character Suzanne Dillon is relatable? Do you like the character or not?
I think she makes for a relatable character because of her low self-esteem. That is something to which a lot of people can relate, and would give her something to overcome.
What do you think?

Spell check doesn't like that word, relateable, by the way.

For readers I do think we need some insight into characters' worries, without getting annoyed by them being neurotic. I certainly enjoy books which give insight first hand into women's thoughts and emotions (and for that matter men).

In this case, spell check is correct! The word is spelled relatable, although I suppose it might be that there is an alternate spelling overseas?ALynnPowers wrote:I am pretty sure that Suzanne is ME. That's how relateable she is. HA!

One of the things that also makes Suzanne relatable is even though she was more or less depressed because after returning to her time period she lost Cody for a while, she was still being a good mother to younger Cody. She still took care of him, played with him, and just loved him. I believe this is true for many good mothers - you are there for kids no matter what life throws at you.
