Point of View

The point of view of the novel is third person. The narrator is omniscient and seems reliable as he reports on the thoughts and emotions of all the characters throughout the novel. The point of view is important as the stories of three different couples are told throughout the course of the book. The narration rotates from character to character as the stories are told.
