Point of View

The novel is written in the first-person point of view, where Colie is the narrator. Throughout the novel, however, Colie tells the story at different points and ages of her life to reveal how she turned into the person she was when she first arrived at Colby. Colie goes back and forth from the present to the past while the story unfolds.

The point of view of this novel permits the reader to truly connect closely with Colie and some of the other characters in the novel. The point of view allows the reader to see each of the characters from Colie's point of view. The point of view also allows the author to inject her own opinions into the narration and to expand on the events taking place around the main character and each character in the novel, without interrupting the flow of the narration...
