Character's Name Significance of the Character Adjective of Character
Miri Tan A friend of Soleil, Penny and Jonah. She and her friends fall in love with a book "Undertow" and manage their way to get close the book author Fatima Ro. She and her friends even created a group to be talking about the book "Undertow". But because she really like Fatima Ro, she wanted to act or "be" like Fatima so she tries to be the center of attraction and acts like she is the only one who knows Fatima Ro. Miri and her friends find out that Fatima's next novel was about one of their friend's deepest secret. Everyone criticizesFatima except Miri. She thinks that it is normal to befriend an author and she turns your secret into her next novel. She is bossy, intelligent, she sees things from positive perspectives
Soleil Johnson Soleil is a friend of Miri, Penny and Jonah. She also falls in love the book "Undertow" and manages to be friend the author of the book. She wanted to be a writer herself so getting close to Fatima Ro would eventually help her develop her writing skills. Unlike her other two friends, Soleil wants to get to know Johan who seems to be weird and different. She manages to get Jonah to tell her his deepest secret with the help of the human connection theory. But little did she know that Fatima Ro was using her to get her next novel using Jonah's deepest secret. She is intelligent, naive and opens up to people easily. She is trustworthy too.
Penny Panazarella Penny is the friend of Miri, Soleil and Jonah. She also falls in love the book "Undertow" and manages to be friend the author of the book. Unlike her friends, Penny is into organising parties and because of that she feels like her friends think they are smarter than her. To me Penny was much closer to Fatima just that she wasn't able to really connect with her. Penny was the one who took care of Fatima's cat and sometimes refilled her refrigerator. She had the keys to Fatima's house and she could go there any day any time. Penny thought she wasn't smart like her friends. But she was the one who found out the real truth about Jonah.She also falls in love the book "Undertow" and manages to be friend the author of the book. She was kind, smart but loved parties, she isn't confident in herself. She always thought her friends were better than her, but she was different(selfless).
Fatima Ro She was the author who the teenagers befriended. She thought the teenagers how to create human connections between themselves and with others. She was inside and out with them(she was comfortable around them to the extent that, she recieves a phone call from her dad in front of them whiles it is on loud speaker. She wrote about Jonah as her next novel to change his life for him but little did she know that that would end him in a coma. She is smart, loyal and opens up to people easily.
