1st or 3rd person narrative? That is the question.

At the moment I'm sussing out whether I should go with 1st person or 3rd person on my Rebound novel project. So I'm writing up a blurb of each to see how natural they feel. You can expect them both in another day or two depending on how busy I am the next couple days. Will post both soon!

Lillith finds a home

So I've decided my 2YN character lives in Iowa. I think this is removed enough from me, but close enough to be the same kind of lifestyle that I would know for her. She's a mid-west gal from small to mid-sized town America.

So her high school is not horrible, but its no private school. It would be the place that good and ambitious kids come out of and make the town papers, the unmotivated slackers come across as "rebels" and cool within their own groups for being so, and the middle of the road kids graduate with little notice outside of their own lives. The local Universities and colleges are cheaper, and one is most likely to come across a good number of people they already know or are acquainted when going there. There are several big cities within 3-5 hours driving time that have colleges and universities that one who would leave town would be more apt to go to.

That's what I'm going on so far.
