challenging emotional hopeful reflective sad tense medium-paced

A young trans woman with Dissociative Identity Disorder heals a lot of her childhood trauma basically in spite of her therapist, who’s pretty much the worst. Seriously, all new therapists should have to read this book as a handbook for how NOT to therapist.

The art style is simple and highly effective. The repetitive conversations, which might otherwise bug me, here feel necessary to emphasize how much bs Grove’s therapist put her through, and how often. I rooted for Grove the whole way through.

This book was so well done. I loved getting to learn about D.I.D. alongside Emma, and was surprised by how much affection I had for her disparate parts. The art style was really compelling in both its simplicity and the complexity of emotion, action, and thought it was able to convey. The black out boxes were a great choice, especially after reading about the authors process of writing the book. And it was fascinating to see the ways that Emma’s D.I.D. and her queerness interacted with one another. Insightful, captivating, and deeply moving.
