Journal Entry 1 by wingBlue_Fairywing from Montréal, Québec Canada on Saturday, February 8, 2020
Beside Myself is a literary thriller about identical twins, Ellie and Helen, who swap places aged six. At first it is just a game, but then Ellie refuses to swap back. Forced into her new identity, Helen develops a host of behavioural problems, delinquency and chronic instability. With their lives diverging sharply, one twin headed for stardom and the other locked in a spiral of addiction and mental illness, how will the deception ever be uncovered? Exploring questions of identity, selfhood, and how other people's expectations affect human behaviour, this novel is as gripping as it is psychologically complex.

Thank you!
I forgot that I had put it on my wish list.
And as I've got it now I am aven more exited to discover this story.

I finished it quickly, couldn't stop reading, took it everywhere with me. I asked myself who was who. The writer plays with the thoughts of the reader : love that!

Good read!

Oui un livre de ma wishlist ! Merci beaucoup Sandritaholland ! Ainsi que pour le marque-pages (on dirait que tu les achètes dans la même boutique que moi, j'ai les mêmes !), le petit carnet et le paquet de mouchoirs.
Réservé pour Harobed82 après lecture, avec un petit mot pour l'envoyer à Chrissini (Autriche) ensuite.

Comme ma PAL en anglais ne cesse de grimper, j'ai décider d'acheter la version française et de libérer celui-ci vers une bookcrosseuse qui l'a sur sa wishlist (et qui lit plus vite que moi en anglais.). Bonne lecture et bel été à toi Harobed82 !

A complicated story, a children game that becomes a nightmare...
I found it a bit hard to follow at times, but all in all, I did enjoy reading it.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Congratulations, you found the right answer to my guessing game "what do I plan to do on May 15th?"! :-)
Yes, I'm getting married, and you are receiving this book along with some little surprises.
Enjoy! :)

Edit: Je n'avais pas vu que j'étais censée l'envoyer à Chrissini après lecture, je n'ai vu le message de Florence qu'une fois mon envoi fait. D'habitude je mets directement un post-it dans le livre pour me souvenir que je dois le faire passer ensuite, mais visiblement il y a eu un raté!
Du coup, si la lectrice suivante peut l'envoyer à Chrissini après lecture, ce serait sympa! ;-)

Merci pour ce joli cadeau. Un livre qui a l'air passionnant (quoique vaguement malsain), des graines de jolies fleurs sauvages, des étiquettes BC... aussi chouette qu'une bonne tablette de chocolat ! :-)
Je suis très touchée qu'au milieu de tes préparatifs de mariage, tu aies trouvé du temps pour moi.
Mille mercis et beaucoup de bonheur à vous deux.

I couldn't read the entire book. Too much pressure for me. This story makes me feel sick. How the mother treats the (real or false) Ellie is like mental torture. And I can't find my way in the mental troubles of the adults' lives.
So I prefered to stop. I felt too bad reading this book.
I am going to see if I can send it to someone else (perhaps Chrissini ?).

I have read this book some weeks ago but after some hectic time I only make it now to write a journal entry. I did really enjoy this book, so once again thank you all for thinking of me and sending it to me. :)
It's on no one's wishlist unfortunately, but I have an idea who I could send it to who would probably enjoy it, so it is reserved for now. :)
