Which Character are You Most Like?

The character that I believe I am most like from my book, Catch a Falling Star, is Carter Moon. Carter displays a life path that I have previously gone down in my life. In the story, she visits the town graveyard with her fake boyfriend and movie star actor, Adam Jakes. There, she places flowers on her grandmother's tombstone and takes a moment to say her prayers. Previously in the story, it is explained that one of the reasons Carter has stopped dancing is because of how viciously that death impacted her life. I can respond to this because of a family death that I went through in early February. I have sympathy for her change in life dynamics and not wanting to participate in things that once meant the world to her. I can also understand how she doesn't want to grow up and leave her small town to go to college. Much like Carter, I think moving to a bigger city and making choices on my own would leave me frazzled and out of place.
