Kelly is a friend of Rent Boy’s who works as a bartender. She likes him at the beginning of the story, and for a brief period of time they have a relationship, but it ends when Rent Boy goes to London. Over the course of the story, Kelly experiences catcalling and rude treatment from men. While the novel largely portrays a male perspective, Kelly helps expand the perspective and reveal some aspects of Leith life to which many of the male characters are oblivious.
