One of the most unique and challenging aspects of this novel was the process of writing it from two perspectives, Alex and Kayla's, in alternating chapters. In the end, I think, it adds real depth, but during the process it proved to be very difficult as I had to be extra cautious in ensuring that the fluidity of the story lines remained intact. I certainly did not want to sacrifice story execution in the process of overt character development. In the end, I believe it was a win because it truly fleshed out the characters and made them feel more authentic, well worth the tediousness, time, and extra care it required to evolve them in a more creative and genuine way.
