This was a very interesting and in places somewhat unexpected read. I knew the basic premise

that Jekyll and Hyde share the same body with Jekyll being the 'good' side and Hyde being the 'bad' side

, but I hadn't anticipated the subtext of repressed homosexuality contained within the Hyde character. I also hadn't expected one of the characters to be accepting of this,

but questioning of the perceived choice of partner

. I also went into this expecting some discussion of substance use based on other media, but I wasn't expecting

the suicide towards the end, I did find this to have been well done within the context of the story however.

Overall, I enjoyed this story and will likely re-read it in the future
