The novel I'm working on is 1st/present from 2 POVs. I've read several YA books like that and it can work IF you make the voices distinct. Not sure if I will succeed but it's the way the book speaks to me.
I read one YA book (forget which one) that had the female POV be 1st person and the male POV be third person which was really weird and jarring at first. It started from the girl's POV and in the next chapter switched and 2 paragraphs into that one I had to stop and look back to see if I imagined 1st person in the 1st chapter, lol.
By the end of the book I didn't notice any more and it kind of worked. Very strange.
