![]() ![]() The other character I wanted to note was Victor. As a writer, I appreciated this aspect of showing the reader versus telling them. Rather than have a stereotypical interaction of a dog running up to someone to prove they are a likeable human being, both Lea and Gabe offered the squirrel food. Also, the incorporation of the squirrel provided a nice touch to character insights. Anytime something makes me, as the reader, smile, I am going to particularly enjoy that character. Every time the squirrel would appear in the novel, I would think of Doug from Up, “Squirrel!” which would make me smile. ![]() Personally, my favorite perspectives were the squirrel (because it offered a humorous element to the story) and their fellow creative writing student, Victor. Everyone around Lea and Gabe can see how perfect they are for one another the only people who can not tell how the other feels is each other. Rather, the reader experiences their love story as if they were watching from the sidelines just as the characters’ friends and family do. Rather than have the story be told from his or her perspective, as most novels do, Hall decided not to have either of the love interests offer their own take on the story at hand. ![]()
