Which character do you feel you’re most like, and why?
I feel I am most like Freya and oh the joy and pain she must have felt when she realized what had really happened. To spend a small amount of time with her baby girl what a blessing.
I didn’t feel like I was like any of the characters. I didn’t find the characters to be believable and really engaging. All the characters felt superficial.
There’s no doubt in my mind that I’m a Victoria.

I felt like I would be most like Victoria. No nonsense- get to the point- not overly emotional. Inside, I’m very caring though, like Victoria was.
I don’t know that I’m like any of the characters but Freya and Mischa felt the most real to me. I enjoyed Victoria and particularly her relationship with Andrew, but both she and Callum felt more like one dimensional “types” to me
I guess it would be a toss between Freya and Mischa, emotional and caring.
When it comes down to how I handle my emotions, I would typically say I’m like Victoria. My therapist would disagree, as we’ve been working on acknowledging and naming my feelings for the past few years. That being said, I don’t think I’m too similar to any of the characters!
I think that I am the most like Mischa because her story with her Mum resonated with me. I don’t think I am quite as emotional as Mischa, though, but certainly not as matter of fact as Victoria.z
Most likely I’m more like Victoria because is a no nonsense person, and very caring . At different stages of my life, I could be all the characters.
I think I’m most like Victoria. She wanted was direct, wanted to maintain control, but at times was compassionate and wanted to help when the others struggled. She was also a master at denial and compartmentalizing her emotions.
I’m probably most like Freya on the inside but most people would say that I am like Victoria because they only see the outside.
I think I would probably be most like Victoria. I tend to be a very private person and don’t naturally share my feelings easily with others. Opening up emotionally does not come naturally to me, so I can understand her reserve and the way she kept things close to herself. I also have a tendency to downplay whatever I am going through rather than talk about it openly.

I related most to Freya. As a mother I know the bond that exists long before your child is born. I was so glad her daughter lived and can only imagine what it would have felt like to have a glimpse into her world.
I really like the way you expressed a mother’s bond with her child. As I read the book, I also related better to Freya than any of the others. I would also find it necessary to have a glimpse of her world. I would need to see for myself that she was doing well.
I didn’t identify with any of the characters. The storyline required them to be defined by their grief as they were truly stuck.
The only character I am somewhat similar to is Genevieve (except I’m alive!). But I love to problem solve by trying new ways of doing things.
I also identified the most with Victoria in how she processed her lost. Probably modeling my parent’s generation who were stoic in the face of loss. That has been my public face although in private may be more demonstrative.
