Isn't Truly Madly Guilty told from the point of view of all adults?

Yes, I think so. I took off the points for multiple narrators though. I already returned it so I can't double check the pronouns, but I think I would have found it annoying. (And the book was already annoying in the way it was structured.)

This is my first group challenge, so let me know if I'm doing the points wrong! (Is nonfiction allowed?)
