It was a little jarring at first not having dialogue indicated as dialogue but it really added to the story when you understood it was the same person. I’m not a huge fan of the troupe of using mental illness, specifically DID, as a twist or demonize a character for having it but I think this was done well.
Another thing Chuck mentions in the afterword is writing in a jarring/shifting manner to disorientate the reader but giving just enough grounding points to keep the reader going and this was done exceptionally. I mentioned this to someone early on when I was reading this and for a debut this was so surprising how well written it was.
