Re: novel with two different first person POV's
For an excellent example of writing multiple first-person POV's, read The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. She has four first-person protags, and rotates their voices by chapter. She also titles each chapter with the name of the character who owns the chapter's voice, but even without doing so, it's easy to determine which character is speaking, once you've gotten to know them.
