Summary

Twenty-eight-year-old Oryn Patterson isn't like other people. Being an extremely shy social introvert is only part of the problem. Oryn has dissociative identity disorder. He may look like a normal man on the outside, but spend five minutes with him, and his daily struggles begin to show. 

Oryn shares his life and headspace with five distinctively different alters. Reed, a protective, very straight jock. Cohen, a flamboyantly gay 19-year-old who is a social butterfly. Cove, a self-destructive terror, whose past haunts him. Theo, an asexual man of little emotion, whose focus is on maintaining order. And Rain, a five-year-old child whose only concern is Batman. 

Vaughn Sinclair is stuck in a rut. When his job doesn't offer the same thrill it once did, he decides it's time to mix-up his stagnant, boring routine. Little does he know, the man he meets during an impromptu decision to return to college is anything but ordinary. 

Vaughn's heart defies logic, and he finds himself falling in love with this strange new man. But how can you love someone who isn't always themself? It may not be easy, but Vaughn is determined to try.

4.5 stars

I probably would have rated this 4 stars because it was a little slow at times, but the incredibly unique concept and relationship building drew me in and I got really immersed in the book which pushed the rating up. There are aspects that could be made stronger, but it was still a great listen.

In this genre, it's my pick of the year

A masterpiece. A great story beautifully told. Expect a thorough serving of entertainment and, particularly, education, on this challenging and difficult topic. Last but not least, some clever writing will almost certainly produce some tears in the reader on this emotion packed rollercoaster. Intense, challenging and a thoroughly rewarding read.

In this genre, it's my pick of the year.

All I can say is WOW!!!

I absolutely loved this book when I read it on my kindle. When I saw it had come out on audio I couldn't wait to listen to it. The emotional story of Oryan and Vaughn is so beautiful. The narrator did a fantastic job bringing the story to life, I laughed and cried and just loved every minute of it.

Brilliant

Absolutely loved the book but listening to the audio was great. Loved how Adam Gold was able to portray Oryn alters . And loved the scene in the museum with Rain
Highly recommend even if you have not read the book the audio will suck you in .

Loved it mostly but…

This is a beautiful, unique and very interesting story. I knew a bit about did before from YouTube and a bit of reading on line, but I enjoyed how informative this story was.
I loved all the characters, Vaughn is so kind and patient and I really liked his friends and his family.
Oryn is such a sweet character, my heart broke for him so many times. I love that even with his condition and how much it affected him at times he always remained kind and thankful towards Vaughn, he never acted like a dick towards him and always remained grateful for everything that Vaughn did for him and his system.
I loved the alters and their different personalities, they definitely made the story very interesting even if at times they’d take over at the most irritating times.

What I struggled with and what broke my heart most was how much Oryn missed out on, the museum, the beach and even at the end of the story Cohen had to take over, which I understand why, it just made me feel bad for him. I just wish that one thing could have been for Oryn and Vaughn, I know realistically why that couldn’t be the case, but still that’s just how I felt.

All that said I throughly enjoyed this story and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Unique and beautiful

Audio just as fabulous as the book was. I wish I could give more stars. If you are in a rut and want something completely different than this is what you need. AMAZING and I want more! It stays with you for a long time after you finish that you want to start over at the beginning immediately.

Highly recommend and easily a reread/listen (I'm already on 3 times this year).

Narrator was fabulous. He made all the voices unique and enjoyable. Would love more from him. If I had a small criticism it would be I didn't like the echoing voice when it was a thinking sentence (I didn't mind the unique telephone conversation audio).

Unique!

I am left astonished and dumbfounded by this book. It was heartfelt and beautiful. If you are indecisive, just give it a try. The narrating alone will captivate you. Awesome! deserves all the stars!!

Superb narration

I loved this book when I first read it, but the narration by Adam Gold, elevates this to an absolutely exceptional level. The level
of emotion and the distinct characters of all the alters is so well voiced you never have any trouble knowing which alter is fronting. It’s a truly remarkable story and such emotive narration. All the stars from me, can’t recommend it highly enough. Will listen to this over and over again.
