This is probably my main problem with this book because to me there are a lot of things that are unclear. The most recent third-person series I read was Harry Potter, but since then I have strictly stuck to first-person writing, because all of the other third-person perspectives I have encountered have been unfulfilling for me.ġ) This book needs more description. Life is more than just the person you are with, you have family, friends, enemies so I think that this book illustrated all of that very well.Ĥ) As I said earlier, this book really opened my mind more towards the third-person perspective. There were other relationships, problems, actions that pushed the book onward.

Although Aria and Perry are obviously a major plot-line, the book didn't purely move forward because of their relationship. There were other plot lines that wove together to form the entire plot. They were always bickering and fighting, and then boom they have feelings for each other, I felt more chemistry between Hermione and Harry than between the actual couple.ģ) The book was more than just Aria and Perry's relationship. For example, in Harry Potter, I saw no build to Hermione and Ron becoming a couple. I can't think of any book that I have read where the couple for a long period of time disliked one another and then was written so well for the reader to be able to see that it's developing into something more than hate. It was interesting to read a couple that really resented each other develop into a strong bond. The two characters are so opposite in personality that it was clear who was speaking, feeling, and acting.Ģ) I enjoyed the building of Aria and Perry's relationship. I didn't find that to be a problem with this book. As I have said in my review of The Fault in Our Stars, it's very difficult to be able to dual point-of-views without the characters sounding too much alike. Also, both characters had very distinctive voices. 1) This book follows both Perry and Aria's point-of-view, providing the reader with a well rounded understanding of the setting, plot, and all of the characters' ways of seeing and understanding things.
