I would just like to start this review by saying as someone who doesn’t have DID, I can never truly know what a ‘good representation’ looks like. But from what I do know about DID (I have watched many many YouTubers in the past who had DID) this book seems to have done a really good job. I feel like if someone doesn’t know about DID and they pick this up they’d have a pretty good understanding of how it works. I really enjoyed the main characters. Even though I don’t have DID I still felt connected to all the alters and other main characters.

I don’t know if how fast full memories came back was accurate or not. I don’t know if that’s a case by case thing Im not sure, it felt like one minute she knew nothing and the next she knew every memory… so maybe that varies by system 🤷‍♀️

I thought the author was setting up the abuser to be a specific person (I thought it was either of two people) and I’m really really glad it wasn’t. Still awful I’m just glad it wasn’t who I worried it was.

Thanks to Netgalley for an e-arc in exchange for a fair review.
