Y'all, I LIKED THIS. It's been a minute since I read a good thriller. I love the idea of a protagonist with DID, so often folks with this disorder are relegated to being villains. I can't say whether this is an accurate portrayal of what living with this disorder is like, but as an outside observer it seems to be careful, researched, and sympathetic. The twists actually surprised me, which is how I always judge a good mystery, and I loved the author's writing style - letting us linger on sentences that needed some marinating & yet punchy where it needed to be. I would love to see more from her.
