It is fun and interesting to read a book where the MC's (unknown until now) dissociation is the key suspense factor as someone who has known what dissociation was, if not the name, since elementary school. A lot of "huh. I suppose that would be concerning if you didn't like. Already know you do it and expect it."

#undescribed #personal;#postponing verdict until i'm done with it but so far it's pretty good #as you can expect i'm wary of dissociation in horror/thrillers bc of it's bad rap and poor portrayals #and I'm only like 55% through this one according to Libby #but so far it's been interesting and not yet hitting any of the Bad Stereotypes #and she's pretty studiously immediately back tracking what she can remember and when #when she realizes she's lost time #but she's doing a lot of accidental losing time and not realizing it and i'm over here gnawing my leg #you lost most of your theraist appt girl! that's significant! you should have mentioned!#yeah yeah 'time flies' but ALSO THAT CAN BE DISSOCIATION /chews leg #edit: caveat to add that my ass shrugs off more dissociation than i should otherwise i would have realized #that i have a Problem long before now. but. you know. i'm built to ignore my problems. it's the dissociation
