Well perhaps I've been reserved in displaying their characteristics. In my head, Tremaine is the firecracker, quick to fight, he's not an asshole and has a good nature but is very short-tempered. You've really given some good advice that I'm pressed to consider. I've thought about either rotating narration between characters for each chapter, IE tremaine does chapter 1, priscilla does 2, tremaine does 3, julian does 4, etc.. And I'm wondering if maybe I could actually rotate POV within each chapter. perhaps a few pages are from one person, next few are from another.

I believed, possibly erroneously, that one narrator would make the story more realistic. When a friend tells us about a date, we only get their perspective, I thought that keeping it from one person would be like a friend telling us a story. However, since it is a book, the beauty is being able to enjoy the story from different perspectives.
