Perspective/point of view

The majority of the novel is written in third-person limited perspective, with "limited" indicating that the action is almost always restricted to Dreenie's own sphere of action. This choice provides a focus for the novel, a restriction to Dreenie's thoughts and feelings. Beyond this third-person narration, several portions of the novel are marked as "Journal", and these passages are presumed to be excerpts from Dreenie's private journal, which she is writing in the first person.
