The most memorable characters in fiction are not perfect. It's the imperfections that get imprinted in your mind.
Charity Royall is full of imperfections. In fact, she's a walking imperfection.
All in all, it's a story of a young girl and a first love. It's nothing a million girls haven't or would not do.
Another thing that gets imprinted in your mind is a story that ends with uncertainty. We're left without knowing how Charity truly felt. Everything happened so fast for her, that I don't know if she had come to grips with it yet, and before I knew it, the book had come to an end.
This story is truly something to ponder.
