Do you think I can have 'I' for more than one person in one story? What books use the first person singular for two or more people? What should I be careful of? Or am I really writing more than one story?
Marian Keyes' book 'The Other Side of the Story' does this - in fact, she has three sides to the story. Quite a light, quick read (in spite of being about 600 pages long!), but interesting in how it showed people's differing views of the same events - basically their misconceptions. Each person is, to an extent, an unreliable narrator. The characters concerned were two authors and an agent. Actually, now that I come to think of it, it might have been two 'I' viewpoints and one 3rd person restricted.
