Review:
I knew that I would be interested in this book just by the title and the cover. I went into this book like I go to most books, blindly. I am thankful I did in this regard. There are some traumatic issues brought up in this book. It’s done in a tactful way though. I also love how realistic the author left everything. I’ve seen so many books that have people with mental health issues in them where everybody is so supportive and kind to them. While it’s true that everybody has a great support team, it’s not all sunshine and flowers. We’re misunderstood. Accused of things like attention seeking. Called lazy. What have you. It was nice to see that struggle seen. I also feel like I understand more about DID than I ever did. I see how tough it is for them, and how much they struggle with on a day to day basis. I fully recommend this book. I’ll also be reading the books listed at the back of this book.
