Point of View

The point of view used in “Flat-out Love” by Jessica Park is third person omniscient. This point of view works well throughout the book as there are several components and underlying factors that would not be revealed otherwise. The story itself is rather complex and only third person omniscient would allow the reader to follow and understand the activities of all of the characters. This is particularly true when it comes to the attachments of Celeste to Flat Finn, the dynamics of the Watkins’ family as a whole, and Julie’s interactions with Finn . It also allows for the reader to follow and understand actions and thoughts of other characters in the book as well as those events of which one single character has no knowledge.

While the first person point of view might have been interesting when coming from the characters in their time...
