I read the book "Kill Me Softly" by Sarah Cross for my summer reading project.
In the book the main character, Mira, in the beginning is very shy and reserved. If something were to bother her, she wouldn't have spoken up and told anyone she was bothered. When she spoke, her dialogue was reserved in the most part.
"So you don't know the city very well?" he said.
"No," Mira admitted. "I have a map but-it's hard to know where to start." (page 25)
Mira, in the beginning part of the book, is reserved and she had a lot more thoughts than dialogue. As she progresses she begins to ask more questions and be more out spoken because she has a goal in her head and she really wants to figure some things out.
"Freddie!" she snapped. "Happily ever after isn't real! Not everything is a fairy tale!" her voice seemed louder suddenly, and she realized he'd shut off the car. (page 162)
Another character that is very important is Blue. He is a very outspoken person. He says exactly what hes thinking or if he doesn't it usually comes out the wrong way.
"Jealous?" Blue narrowed his eyes, looking angry finally. It gave his face a different cast from the cocky obnoxiousness he usually wore. "You have no idea what you're getting yourself into. Now do what I say before I do something I'll regret." (page 36)
Throughout the book Blue's true colors show and he isn't really just a big jerk trying to start conflict, he is actually trying to protect Mira but he has his guard up so he came off as rude in the beginning, but now she sees that he is just trying to do the right thing.
Blue shook his head. "You don't know all of me; I don't even know all of me. But I know that the more I'm with you, the more I want to be with you. It's been over a year since the last-" His voice broke, and he stopped. (page 314)
This article is about what the reviewer thought of the book and who they thought would most enjoy the book.
