True, they're real and that's something I love about Jo's writing, but some of them like something good about them. Personally I'd need to see what other characters like about a character, but Jo probably thought it's not necessary for the story.
Kay's goodness overrides her stupidy about Gavin for me. The bit of good I've seen about Gavin can't override his idiocy. Jesus Christ, he even makes himself suffer by not breaking up with Kay.
Oh god, by now I'm really invested in the story. I'm hoping for things! That Terri manages to stay clean, Sukhvinder and Krystal become friends, Kay realizes that Gavin doesn't want her and moves back to London with Gaia, and that Simon drops dead. I'd also find it acceptable if he'd attacked his family again and was killed in self-defense.
I'm 1 or 2 chapters past the rape now, btw. Dammit, Jo, the shit you put your characters through! And wasn't even very detailed, but too much detail for me.
I've finished the book and now I wonder how I haven't seen that ending coming. I was actually hoping for a happy ending *sigh*. Well, some things were good in the end, but not enough
