Was there a lack of Sarah's perspective?

Sarah's perspective on life and her current situation stood out to me but it did leave me longing for more from her side, especially when they were in the woods. Do you agree with me or do you think that Sarah's perspective was well sprinkled throughout the story?

I don't really think it was imperative to have her POV especially since the book was so heavily about her.

exactly she overshadowed the other characters.

I argue that her POV is very much important since she is the main character in the story. Had the story been in first person we might have delved deeper into Sarah's mind and understood her at a more deeper level.

We definitely could have gotten to know her character better but I think I likeit more that we can see inside all of the characters heads and not just hers.

But aren't you even a little bit curious? Wouldn't you want to know what goes on in your favorite character's mind?

Yes. That's right.

Well said. Character diversity perspective is also good.

I feel her POV is very important as we focus much on the main characters in the book.

Yes I would have liked to know more from her side of the story. Just because you are young and have a more of an imagination doesn't mean you can't judge her because what do people expect when she is a teenager.

I would have like to have known more from her perspective. There was definitely some room for development for her as a main character. However I think they way it was done was also good because you could see things from everyone's point of view.

I would have liked too know more of her thoughts and take, so yes, there should have been more of her pespective.

I think there was no lack of perspective but we would love to know even more :)

Maybe if there was more perspective from her, I would've liked her a little more.
