polychromatic_hedgehog_parable's review against another edition
challenging
funny
sad
tense
fast-paced
really good! incredible art! the page count caught be by surprise but I read it in one day, like Maia Kobabe claimed on the back of the book lol ^^;
language used by therapist and eventually by main character: alter, core self
I was really sad that the main character ended up capitulating a bit to the therapist's wrong idea of her! he was on this fucking quest to find the "core self" and make sure that person would be ok with transitioning/figuring out whether that person was "truly a woman" absolute bullshit. I just had this palpable sense that everyone in their system was working well together and trying to work towards self-improvement, and the therapist was blocking them at every turn lmao. TTuTT
actually now that I think about it, I'd be curious to know whether everyone has the same reaction to reading this book (i.e. this therapist is emotionally abusive _and_ is employing harmful and outdated ideas about DID). ...The idea of someone empathizing with the therapist is deeply concerning to me lmao. pls read this maybe https://www.them.us/story/emma-grove-third-person-graphic-memoir-q-and-a
