Same! Also, it helps me to connect with the characters and feel their emotions. In this way, I come to know more about the inner and outer personality of the character which helps to know how the character really is.Howlan wrote: ↑15 Feb 2020, 13:38I am a big fan of first-person narratives and I think the way the emotions are portrayed in the first person makes it easier to follow the story.cristinaro wrote: ↑15 Feb 2020, 07:49 Do you think that it was a good idea for the author to alternate between Adam's and Carly's first-person narration? As far as I am concerned, I found Adam's passages more interesting and believable than Carly's. Would a third-person narration have worked better?

In my opinion, I felt like this was third-person narration but with multiple perspectives. The flow actually had me all kinds of weirded out when I was reading it, so I tried to do a little bit of research on it to figure out what was throwing me off. "Multiple perspective narration" seemed like the best fit for the book, but I might be horribly wrong.
Anyways, though, whatever the style was, it didn't really sit well with me. The switching back and forth had me confused a lot of the times, and it just left a very awkward, choppy impression to me. I would have much preferred if the author would have just stuck with one perspective, or divided up the different perspectives into different chapters. It was an interesting and curious choice, though.
