Characters
Our two main characters are Alison and Philip.
I found Alison easy to relate to. Although appearing anti-social at first, Alison has a lot of things bottled up inside, which lead to intense anxiety and depression. Throughout the story, I watched as she gradually overcame her fears, becoming more bold and open to connecting with others.
Philip, Alison’s childhood friend, makes a sudden re-appearance in her life after she first tries to confront her fears. Both handsome and mysterious, Philip’s personality drew me in as much as he did Alison. However, I wasn’t expecting Philip to be hiding such dark secrets. The way they are divulged throughout the later parts of the story was really well done, and I found myself loving his character even more.
