Really interesting read about living with trauma and DID, while also trying to transition from male to female. The story is told mostly in therapy sessions, which I guess could feel monotonous to some, but I didn’t feel it suffered at all from that choice.

I was glad to see when she finally moved on from Toby to the new therapist. Toby was shockingly unprofessional.

I try to remember not to rate memoirs so I won't here but wow. This was such a heavy read at times, even frustrating sometimes, but so worth it. I teared up a few times, but I won't spoil anything so I won't say where. The art style grew on me, especially with the expressions (especially Katina's expressions of in being honest lol). Towards the end, when we saw the pieces come together, was just so good. I loved that. I even loved seeing how Emma pieced everything together (literally!) in the after notes.
