I enjoy the first person narrative because it is more intimate: It's like you're in the story and it's actually happening to you.

It depends. You could do 1st person and then switch between the girls, or write the novel four times from each girl's view, or simply choose to focus on the one girl. 3rd person would allow you to get inside all of their heads and also make some personal commentary if you want to go about it that way. You just have to be careful your character doesn't know things she shouldn't know. For example, in first person, you couldn't say "Robin was angry." You'd have to say "Robin looked angry." Because Josie wouldn't know. And with 3rd person omnescient, some editors may be concerned with "head hopping" which is when you say things like "Josie felt betrayed, but Ashlee knew she'd come around." The problem here is that you start off focusing on Josie but then move to quickly to Ashlee. You'd need a new section or paragraph. Hope this helps!

Hmmm....I don't have a strong preference, but I seem to read mainly 3rd person. I suppose I prefer it because they sometimes switch to the other person's POV, and they may not do that much when the book is 1st person.

I prefer 3rd person. It makes it a little more intimate to see what the main characters are thinking and feeling. In first person, you just perceive whoever is telling you the story. I like to get the whole effect of it.

1st is great , makes you feel more like it is you in the story and can imagine that character to be you easier. But in 3rd, you see more of both af all sides , Prefer 1st.

I like first person, but in third you get to see everyone's perspective.
