An incredibly emotional and touching read about a trans woman and her experience with dissociative identity disorder.
I can't imagine any better format for this story than a graphic novel. Emma's drawings are minimalist and there's a lot of conversation - but her characters display a lot of emotion and context from small gestures. The story could have been confusing (it appears it was definitely a confusing thing to live though), but pieces come together for the read easily, and it's been very well crafted.
I ripped through this in two sittings (but I didn't want to put it down - so could have easily done it in one!). I was left with more empathy and understanding of DID - which I really didn't have much knowledge of before. It was also fascinating to see in such detail the process of working with a therapist (and what a difference a better one can make).
Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC for this title.
