Although I said I would never do it...it seems my muse has some other plans for me. I am going to be revisiting my Siblings With Benefits series.
But back in SWB the original I did it all first person and only switched POV a couple of times. Of the 44 parts in the main series(there was a 5 part spin off) 40 chapters were from the sister's POV so the occasional switching to the brother was no big deal and I segued that there would be a shift in the previous chapter...example at the end of one chapter, the brother says, "So, it was right after the trial..."
Then next chapter is his pov.
But I plan on this series bouncing back and forth between the two and possible a couple from another characters POV.
So would every chapter being a different "I" for first person be confusing as in the reader is like "which I is this" or would it work?
My other option is doing it all in third person which more easily identifies who the reader is following in each chapter?
