A student started this technical discussion in class on the pitfalls and obstacles in changing a book from one point of view to another.

Has anyone had to go back and do a complete overhaul on POV? I think I may need to switch my point of view from first to third. I started the draft thinking it would be only from my MC’s POV, but as I got further along, I’m noticing scenes I want to add or revise that would be better from someone else’s perspective. (Maybe 25% of my scenes would be a different POV.)

I know that I CAN write multiple POVs in first person, but I know it can be confusing. I’m not sure that my book qualifies as being the exception to the rule.
