The therapy sessions with Toby's part is so good! Like some advanced conversation movie shots!
An illuminating and absolutely fascinating memoir about transition and living with DID. Groves uses simple and incredibly expressive artwork, plus copious real-world dialogue, to present a story that feels freshly authentic and insightful. Her careful use of perspective changes between herself, her alters and her therapist clearly demonstrate the complexity of communication between them, and leads the audience down a winding path of shifting sympathies and ongoing discovery.
I would recommend this graphic memoir to absolutely anyone who can handle read a comic for 3 hours. It's impossible to put down and I'm so glad I picked it up.

This book is a TRIP. A fascinating and excruciatingly vulnerable look inside the mind and life of a system -- a person with Dissociative Identity Disorder -- who is also a trans woman (yes, all of her "selves") desperately seeking gender affirming medical care. This book is so big there's space on the spine for an entire three panel strip, but it's a fast, engaging read rendered in very simple, highly emotive 2x4 panel blocks, and I read it voraciously, cover to cover, in a single day. I'm so grateful Emma (and Katina, and Ed) was able to survive and share her story with the world -- there is so much raw humanity in it, even though it is such a (statistically) unusual perspective, that you can't help but admire Emma's unflagging hope, Katina's fiery grit, and Ed's stolid perseverance.
I did not like this. The therapist sounds like an asshole, but the story was repetitive and filled with unnecessary pages. Could have been MUCH shorter.
I just relate so hard and UGH THE PART ABOUT HAVING A THERAPIST WHO DOESNT UNDERSTAND and THOSE WHO DO
God trauma all over again but also like she said it’s healing
Grove also hand drew everything including the frames—no photocopy. Wow I love that
Emma please be my friend I’m begging you
