Pieces of Me

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

When eighteen-year-old Dylan wakes up, sheâs in an apartment she doesnât recognize. The other people there seem to know her, but she doesn''t know them â" 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 canât help but freak out. Especially when she borrows Connorâs phone to call home and realizes sheâs 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 not only with the many people currently crammed inside her head, but that a secret from her past so terrible sheâs blocked it out has 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 McLaughlinâs Pieces of Me is raw, intimate, and surprisingly hopeful.

âPieces of Me is a chilling, yet empathetic, look into Dissociative Identity Disorder. With her calm, pure, voice, Kate McLaughlin delves deep into the crevices of this misunderstood disorder and a young woman''s mind. I had to keep reading not only to understand Dylan, the main characterâ"but to understand all of the people inside Dylanâs head." - Hayley Krischer, author of Something Happened to Ali Greenleaf and The Falling Girls
