The Perfect Daughter by D.J. Palmer
4.0

i don’t want to say too much about this book so i don’t spoil the ending, but it was a very well written and surprising thriller.

i enjoy reading about mental health issues in books if it’s done well and doesn’t put down the person with mental illness. personally, i thought that this was well done. dissociative identity disorder is not diagnosed as much as it probably should be because many in the psychology field still don’t believe it exists. it, to me, is a fascinating disorder and i feel for any person who’s experienced it.

it was a tiny bit too long but i did enjoy the book. like i said, it’s a little hard to talk about without spoiling.

trigger warnings: ‼️a very graphic scene involving a cat on pages 120-122, hp and jkr references, bullying, ableism, drug use, graphic violence, abuse, mental health trauma, trauma, graphic murder, manipulation, miscarriage, prejudice
