I'm starting a new novel that will be sort of a chick-lit, light hearted story. I would like the story to be told from both perspectives. Sometimes we'll follow the girl around, and sometimes the guy. The chapters will alternate between her and him.
I'm wondering if people have a specific way they like shifting perspectives in books? Do you prefer for both to be in first person? Right now I have the girl in first. I just started my first chapter with the guy, and it was going to be in third. But then I was wondering if this was a bad idea, to go back and forth from first to third.
Any thoughts or personal tastes on this?
