3.0

This is a hard book to get through because it is told through the voices in someone with disassociated identity disorder. The headspace and physical space begin to mirror each other as the traumatic memories are peeled back. The book addresses white supremacy and sociopathic legacies in a “Get Out” kind of style (similar to Cole’s “when no one is watching). I am intrigued by the premise and love the detailed descriptive style of Cole’s writing. But this book was a bit too confusing to me and I still don’t quite understand what happened and how all the pieces fit together.
