welp, this is dramatic. reminds me of my classmate mate. I think she's more dramatic than K. Webster but my ex might just might beat them both.

...

And like my ex, I'm done with this bitch.


I really thought me and K.Webster would blossom into something something special but no such look. I've tried three of her books and have given up on two. Time to find a new romance author folks.

Brilliant, beautiful, raw and well written. Truly awe inspiring. This is hands down another a 5 star book for K. Webster. She absolutely has a beautiful mind. I'd love to go digging around in it and see what else is in there. Alas, that idea sounds a bit creepy so I will settle with devouring more of her books.

I… have no idea how I feel about this book. I finished it, so that’s at least 2 stars. I didn’t love parts of it, but I won’t be forgetting it anytime soon. So 3 stars.

I had no idea what to expect when i began this book. I saw it on tiktok but per the usual i didn’t hang around for the reviews. All i knew was that it would make me cry and was full of triggers. Naturally my masochist self just had to read this. I was not disappointed.

I highly recommend you go into this book blind. If you must, ask for TW but honestly, not knowing what was going on made it that much stronger. This book is about love. About love that quite literally conquers all. I devoured this book and couldn’t wait to see how it ended. Yet i also took time with it to feel the feels K evoked. There were times i was confused and disgusted and appalled. However by the middle it all made sense. I’d definitely recommend this one.

When I first finished up this book, I gave it 5 stars, but I have given it a couple of days and unfortunately I just can't give it the 'perfect 5'!

I was unlucky as I guessed the major twist only a couple of pages in, due to the phrasing used to describe the family members, and the way that messages needed to be passed through Bones. In some ways, this meant that I was able to appreciate the intricacies of the alters more as I didn't see the facets of their personalities as 'character building' and I spent the first half of the book theorising on what type of alters the 'family members' were, and their purpose for existence.

The background to Kady's life is harrowing and the detail of which you learn about her life is truly horrifying. It's incredible to me that the author was able to write so accurately from a child's perspective.

I had a couple of gripes with the overall storyline, which upon reflection have taken away this book's potential 5 star rating. For example, was Yeo genuinely away for 12 years, and then he decided to just come back and have Kady cured? like- what?

Also, that ending really didn't sit right with me. All that pain and suffering, all that protection, all that support built up, only for a doctor to just say "you're better now" by convincing the alters they weren't real? The ending felt rushed to me, and it felt like someone slammed the book closed on a story that had been building for the entire book.

All in all, a very interesting and unique read, and I will still be recommending it to others!
