Sara -
I didn't like Sara throughout the whole book. It really irritated me that she was trying to help one child, but not considering the other. Although she loved Anna, I never felt like it was as much at Kate. She also neglected her son.
Kate -
I wasn't sure about Kate through most of the book, but at the end I really did end up liking her. She loved Anna and she wanted to be normal (not sick, because nobody is normal).
Anna -
Anna was just Anna. I wanted her so bad to say what she need to say, but she never did and at the end I understood why, but I still felt sorry for her.
Julia -
I don't have much to say about Julia. I liked her. She was unique.
Sara: Man, she bugged me. It was hard for me to read the book because of how she handled the illness. I wanted her to find a balance of caring for a sick child as well as nuture the other children. The part that made me the saddest regarding her was when she gave birth to Anna and her first response was to save the cord blood. Towards the very end I saw that she had good intentions in the begining but I think life swallowed her whole.
Kate: What a girl. I think it is a horrible burden to bear knowing that your parents birthed another child to be your donor. I wonder if she felt guilty. I was glad that she stood up for Anna when no one else did.
Anna: What a girl. I thought she was handling everything so well. I assumed that she wanted to gain medicial freedom so that she could donate herself on her own, not bc she was forced to by her mother. I was surprised in the end when it was Kate's decision to end the donations and not Anna's.
Julia: Because this book was so depressing, I was glad they brought in some semi-normal characters. I liked Julia enough. I wish she had more of an impression on the mom and how she could better handle things.
I have to admit that I stopped reading the book part way through. It was just too close to home at times, and I just could not get on board with Sara. She and I are on two completely different playing fields and I just couldn't finish.
