I'm loving the names Vanessa, Michelle, Dia, Jessica, Daisy, Aisha, Naomi, Arabella, Maria, Natalia, Frida, Eliza, Cori, Christina, Kanytha, Nora, Hanna, Alessa, Neeharika, Aidana, Kahirona, Abeyna, Layla, Mareko, Anca, Bebika, and Zaberi! I'm so sorry to hear that you're suffering from kidney disease; I hope that you're not in much pain! I hope that you have a very speedy recovery and feel better soon! I'm happy to see you!
Thank you for your kind words! I'm not in pain and I receive dialysis twice a week. Hopefully I will get a new kidney in a few years' time.
Michelle and Christina seem odd for their places. You mentioned a couple instances like that Arabella is American but living in Romania, but are Michelle and Christina native UAE-ers and Nepalis?
The book says Michelle was born in Azerbaijan, but her name doesn't sounds Azeri either. Christina looks Nepali, but maybe her family are converted Christians? I don't know.
Arabella was travelling around Europe when Mihaela Noroc met her.
