The author writes in first person and mainly uses indirect characterization to introduce her characters. For example, when Sophia, the main character, is watching a movie, the author shows how different she is from other people. Although the rest of the audience is rooting for the main character to survive, Sophia feels differently.

The book states, "She gasped loudly, her eyes lighting up. 'So you watched the whole preview? Doesn't Fighter look absolutely amazing?'" The author shows that Tori really likes the actor and is a bit obsessed with him. Overall, there is way more indirect characterization in this book than direct characterization.

The book says, "'What?' I hissed to myself, 'I sat through this whole movie, and he lives? This is ridiculous...'" This implies that Sophia didn't want to main character to live and wanted to see him die. Another example is when the author is introducing Sophia's best friend, Tori. Sophia admits she has seen the trailer to a movie with an actor Tori really likes and Tori immediately begins talking about the movie.
