FAQs
What is the best POV for a romance novel?
There is no best POV for a romance novel because it’s completely subjective, but the most common POVs in romance novels are either third person or first person. Sometimes they are dual POV, but often we only hear the heroine’s side of the story.
What is dual POV?
Dual POV is when we hear the first-person perspectives of two (or sometimes more) characters in a story. They usually alter perspectives in different chapters and this way we get a chance to understand what’s going through both characters’ minds.
