Pieces of Me by Kate McLaughlin

istuccio's review against another edition

5.0

Wow. This book was so well research and avoided literally every stereotype that I could foresee coming up, which are two traits that are really hard to achieve in a book about mental health. Definitely hard to read at times because of the content, but not in a way that made me want to stop reading. Mild cringey-ness with gen z lingo at times but nothing unbearable. 5/5

I really enjoyed this book, the topic was extremely interesting and the characters quite likeable. It just missed a little tension, but in a way it's quite nice to read a book where everyone gets along and there's no drama.

As someone who does not have DID, I enjoyed this book. From my POV it seemed thoroughly researched, but I know very little about the DID community.

From my POV, I liked that Dylan's System was treated with respect, while we-- the audience-- still got different perspectives in how each character reacts to her System. Each characters' reaction feels genuine.
