Customer Reviews

Thoroughly enjoyable read!!

I couldn't put the book down! It kept me involved thru out. Very entertaining. It brought out all the emotions, I laughed and cried. A very intricate undertaking for a first book, I thought Ms. Mahaffey pulled it off masterfully! Can't wait for her next one.

Absolutely Amazing!

I just couldn't stop reading, and it was funny, sad, crazy, inspiring and yes, it made me cry because it's written beautifully.

Great Read

A wonderful, well-written story that tells us how far our minds will go to inhibit trauma and holding on to master everyday tasks. I found the story very moving. The main character Holly has to face life with 5 distinct personalities in her head. (The committee) ruling her day-to-day decisions. What happend to Holly in the past? What caused these interlopers to take residence in her head? The book is well-developed, from laughing out loud to teas - the book was very unpredictable. 5 stars for sure!

Remarkable debut!
