Point of View

"Romancing Mister Bridgerton" by Julia Quinn is written from a third-person and subjective point of view, and the subjectivity changes between Penelope and Colin regularly. This gives the reader an overview of the story, and it also gives the reader insight into what each of the main characters is thinking and feeling. There are times when the switch in subjectivity occurs within a page.
