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.

emotional inspiring tense fast-paced

5.0

It was impossible for me to put this book down, even though it was very uncomfortable to read. Emma manages to convey nuanced emotions and the wordless experience of dissociation into the lines of her drawings. Maybe it's her animation background that adds to the fast-paced feeling of a flip book?
