Best part of story, including ending:
I enjoyed all the different aspects of this boo the different plots and characters didn't leave any time to get bored.
Best scene in story:
My favorite scene is when Lydia takes Martina to a belly dancing class and for the first time the little girl feels comfortable in her own skin and even makes a new friend.
Opinion about the main character:
Well Technically there are three main characters so what I like most about Lydia is her willingness to do whatever it takes to see her cousins happy. What I like most about Kiley is her willingness to stick with a job she really isn't happy in and what I like most about Esme is her love and concern for her parents.
