This novel is told in the first person point of view. The author uses a new style of first person narration in telling her story through the eyes of two main characters, Sophie and Carter. The author titles each chapter by the name of the character who will be telling their story in that chapter, making it clear to the reader who is speaking. In this way, the author is able to show the thoughts and emotions of the characters, often repeating events or dialogue in order to show both characters' reaction to the event or dialogue.

The point of view of this novel works well because it establishes an instantly close relationship between reader and characters. The point of view is utilized in such a way that the reader is well aware of the thoughts and emotions of both the main characters, learning from each their own reactions to their own situations as well as their feelings for one another. It is a unique point of view that is becoming more common, which develops well and tells a deeply personal story.
