I argue that her POV is very much important since she is the main character in the story. Had the story been in first person we might have delved deeper into Sarah's mind and understood her at a more deeper level.BoyLazy wrote:exactly she overshadowed the other characters.Amagine wrote:I don't really think it was imperative to have her POV especially since the book was so heavily about her.

We definitely could have gotten to know her character better but I think I likeit more that we can see inside all of the characters heads and not just hers.Salsabila wrote:I argue that her POV is very much important since she is the main character in the story.

Well said. Character diversity perspective is also good.
