Thought the story she had strength and a weakness mainly her strength is at being very protective around her boyfriend and not letting other girls be around him even the good girls. Her weakness was seeing her get slapped in the face when she saw that a good girl was kissing her boyfriend. In this story she acted like a real person by how she speaks and acts but in the story she never got older, I found the characters likeable because she had a goal and a purpose to want to be with that boy, my overall judgment was that I loved it I did not really get at first but I read and love the story I would recommend this story to somebody who loves
