The point of view of the novel is split between the first-person and the third-person perspective. The opening sequence, as with most of the novel, is narrated through the third person point of view.

At regular intervals, the point of view shifts to the first-person narrative as a means of offering character insight as well as multiple perspectives of occurring events. Though Ellie is one of the main plot characters, we are not given the opportunity to meet her and get to know her through the narrator’s perspective, as she is already dead when the novel begins. Her post-mortem first-person soliloquies, along with commentary from supporting characters, are our only means of getting to know her story.
