Writing and stuff.

xtremeroswelliaSo...I've started working on a new original writing project. What I think may be a young adult novel eventually. I actually handed out the prologue and chapter one to my writer's critique group tonight.
Honestly I think it's the first non-sucky thing I've written in...well, years. I haven't been happy with my solo writing for a long time now--since high school actually. But I think this isn't so bad.
I'm also kinda stuck on it. But on the drive home as I was talking to myself about it (and being nervous because I haven't had a face-to-face writing critique since I was like, 22...) I think I may have solved my problem. I think. Maybe.
How disturbing would you (any of you) find it to have the first chapter about one character and the next about the second, and the third about the first character and so on and so forth? I haven't read TOO many books that switch POV's like that, especially in the young adult genre, so I'm not quite sure if that's really okay.
Thoughts?
