Description

Beautiful. Damaged. Destructive. Meet Alexa Wú, a brilliant yet darkly self-aware young woman whose chaotic life is controlled by a series of alternate personalities.

When Alexa's friend Ella gets a job at a high-end gentlemen's club, she catches the attention of its shark-like owner and is gradually drawn into his inner circle. As Alexa's world becomes intimately entangled with Ella's, she soon finds herself the unwitting keeper of a nightmarish secret as she follows Ella into London's cruel underbelly. Threatened and vulnerable, Alexa will discover whether her multiple personalities are her greatest asset, or her most dangerous obstacle.

Electrifying and breathlessly compulsive, The Eighth Girl is an omnivorous examination of life with mental illness and the acute trauma of living in a misogynist world. With bingeable prose and a clinician's expertise, Chung's psychological debut deftly explores identity, innocence, and the fracturing weight that young women are forced to carry, causing us to ask: Does the truth lead to self-discovery, or to self-destruction?

good

The main reason I was drawn to this book initially was the main character has multiple personalities. takes a perceptive look into the heart of mental illness and even more so into Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

worth reading

Talk about messed up! This one is tough. You think you've got it down, and slightly figured out, only to be slapped in the face with a swing out of nowhere. The twist at the end took me so off guard, I literally gasped. That was one I certainly didn't see coming. Great suspense book. Loved it
