Phantom Pains by Mishell Baker
3.0
It's hard to pin down exacly why I didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as I did Borderline. One thing I enjoyed about Borderline was the exploration of Borderline Personality Disorder and it's effect on the main character's psyche and her interactions with everyone. In Phantom Pains it felt like her BDP was just a prop to advance personal drama between the characters.
I think a lot of this book probably suffers from the growing pains of a writer trying to write her second book. The plot felt murkier and overall the book was simply less interesting. However I am pretty likely to read the next in the series as Phantom Pains leaves the world in a potentially very interesting predicament.
