Synopsis

The next gut-punching, compulsively readable Kate McLaughlin novel, about a girl who finds strength in not being alone

When eighteen-year-old Dylan wakes up, she’s in an apartment she doesn’t recognize. The other people there seem to know her, but she doesn’t know them—not even the pretty, chiseled boy who tells her his name is Connor. A voice
inside her head keeps saying that everything is okay, but Dylan can’t help freaking out. Especially when she borrows Connor’s phone to call home and realizes she’s been missing for three days.

Dylan has lost time before, but never like this.

Soon after, Dylan is diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder and must grapple with the many people currently crammed inside her head, as well as a secret from her past so terrible she’s blocked out that it’s put them there. Her
only distraction is a budding new relationship with Connor. But as she gets closer to finding out the truth, Dylan wonders: Will it heal her or fracture her further?

Kate McLaughlin’s Pieces of Me is raw, intimate, and surprisingly hopeful.

In my quest to read/listen to books about DID, I came across this YA novel on Hoopla. While I typically don’t enjoy YA, the high rating convinced me to give it a try. The book is definitely well-researched, but there are several aspects about it that are super unrealistic. Dylan’s love interest is wa......more

Dylan grew up with fairly wealthy, albeit divorced, parents and is close to her twin brother. She loves art, and, on the surface, her life seems great.
