Question(s) ~ If a book has 2 female main characters (rotates between perspectives/narrators), can you pick whichever character to count or does it have to be the 1st one introduced? And since a book can only count once, both characters can't count for two different letters, correct?

Right one book - you pick which character you wish to use. :)
