Pieces Of Me by Kate McLaughlin

Pieces Of Me by Kate McLaughlin is a phenomenal novel that dives into the world of DID  (Dissociative Identity Disorder) 

Dylan has lived a fairly charmed life with a mother who was somewhat famous in the past and sort of still is. She has a twin brother that she loves very much even though he seems to always be very angry with her. Dylan has BPD and struggles to function properly with it. She finds that she doesn't have many friends but she has found one that loves her no matter what. Izzy is a special person for putting up with the things Dylan has put her through. Some days Dylan doesn't seem like herself. Her mother and brother struggle to understand the drastic shifts in Dylan. Her brother feels as though Dylan just wants all the attention she can possibly get and her mother worries that no amount of money can help her daughter heal. 

One morning Dylan wakes up in the bed of a man named Connor who calls her by a different name.  She finds out that she has been with Connor for the last 3 days and begins to panic because she doesn't remember any of it. Once she returns home and is able to calm her mother and brother down she starts to lose time more and more often and the voices in her head are getting louder and closer. As time continues people recognize her and know things about her they shouldn't and call her by names she doesn't know.

Pieces of Me dives deeply into the world of Dylan's mind and what she begins calling her system. Although not written by someone who has DID the author Kate McLaughlin did a lot of work and research so she could portray this disability as accurately as possible. There are triggers within this book about sexual abuse, and suicide so please be aware of this before venturing into this novel. I absolutely adored this book and cannot wait to add it to my collection!
