The Decline letter

I got a decline letter in the mail the other day, yesterday in fact. And I had heard that this particular agent was really good with critiquing when she turns you down. So she sent me a letter saying that she didn't really like the fact that book was written in 1st person. 1st person makes it confusing. Kyra, the Christian good girl sounds the same as Essence the scorned wife of an adulterer. So I examined the two women. Well, first I thought of how many Terry McMillan books I've read that were in first person, hmmm, let me see, pretty much all of them, and she has done it successfully each time, but then she is Terry McMillan, but does that mean she's the only person that can get away with it? I think first person is a good way to really get in the soul of a person. The novel that's sitting on my back burner is written in third person and in first person. I don't know, but the one thing I did pull from her comments was the characters sounding the same, and I will look over that and try to make adjustments. Now I see that I have had a few visitors, so please post your comments I want to hear from you. I'm going to post an excerpt and I want some comments.
