Waiting on Wednesday (#26)

"Waiting on" Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases.

The Half Life of Molly Pierce by Katrina Leno

Expected publication: July 8th 2014 by HarperTeen

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A mysterious and visceral page-turner about a seventeen-year-old girl who unravels the secrets of her alternate personality, reminiscent of the film Memento.
You live and you remember.
Me, I live and I forget.
But now-now I am remembering.
For all of her seventeen years, Molly feels like she's missed bits and pieces of her life. Molly suffers from dissociative identity disorder, and since she was a little girl, she's played host to Mabel, a completely separate and individual personality. When Mabel is in control, Molly experiences the blackouts she's been so scared of. But now Mabel is letting Molly in on her secrets; she's letting Molly remember. And in doing so, Molly uncovers the separate life she seems to have led...and the love that she can't let go.

The Half Life of Molly Pierce is a suspenseful, evocative psychological mystery about uncovering the secrets of our pasts, facing the unknowns of our futures, and accepting our whole selves.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reason why? So simple, this, dissociative identity disorder is, after 170,000 words, what I've been writing about the past year and a half. I so want to ditch my schedule and read it now.

What're you waiting on? :)

I haven't heard of this one before. But her having DID sounds really interesting - although she IS only 17, so how much could she have missed out on, and how 'great' could this love of hers be? lol. Thanks for sharing.

That book sounds intense. I'm adding it to my goodreads! Also, I really like that cover. It looks like she's looking into a mirror (which is fitting, considering the synopsis)!

Oooh, I didn't realize that this was about a dissociative identity disorder! That's awesome. It just popped on EW didn't, definitely tempted now!
That's really cool that your studying dissociative identity disorder! Abnormal disorders/neuroscience was always my favourite part about studying psychology haha.

Anyway, thanks for sharing & stopping by Bookmunchies (:

Wow. That 's a really creepy disorder and quite unique, Kirsty. This is my first time to know about it. Are you a nurse or someone from the medical field?

Lovely pick. As for me, I am waiting for Cress and The Winner's Curse. Hahahah. I hope I can pull the hours.

Have a great Wednesday!
