Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity of reading this book in exchange of an honest review!

This book is about a girl that is many girls. She have multiple personalities and this caused her a lot of problems. Now her new friends are going to help her find out what is happening with her.

The first thing that I have to say about this book is that the art is beautiful and the friendship is solid. Even with just 98 pages, the book (that clearly will have a continuation) bring real people with unique personalities, what is rare.

I also have to say that I loved the way they portrait the different personalities with her hair and inner people, that brought a magical and poetic feeling to the history.

Recommend this book for all people that are wanting to have a time between heavy readings!

I really liked the way this book tackled the topic of multiple personality disorder. The art style in this graphic novel was stunning it also helped the reader differentiate between all of the different personalities that Elle has throughout this book. There is also a subplot that is a mystery surrounding Elle's family. I can not wait to read the next volume from this series. I am super excited!!!

I loved this. Quite simply, it is brilliant. The art work looks like something out of a Disney Pixar short. The colours are perfect and it’s just brilliant. 

This shows an excellent understanding of bipolar disorder. I feel that this shows it as it is, a little mischievous but always protective of your main self. Needing to be something different for different situations. 

The story is just the right amount of high school and issues, but I wish it was longer.

The story itself was fun and well written. I also really liked the art and the way Elle had different hair colors whenever her personality changed. This gave me a good idea of who was talking and why Elle was acting the way she was. 

There was also a lot of diversity. It had lgbt characters, poc characters and men that were comfortable with their femininity.

I enjoyed reading this, but I think it was just a little too short. I think that Elle’s personalities could have been worked out more if it was just a little longer. 

It was short, but overall a good story and easy to get through.
