Something Blue is written in the first person point of view. Becoming more popular in contemporary fiction, this point of view provides a limited perspective on events as the reader is restricted to looking at situations through the main character's eyes. The first person point of view also lends a sense of intimacy and alliance with the main character. The main theme of the novel is self-realization and growth of the main character. Writing the novel in the first -person allows the reader to experience first hand how life events alter the main character's view of herself and how she changes her life.
