Damaged. Destructive. Meet Alexa WuÌ, a brilliant yet darkly self-aware young woman whose chaotic life is manipulated and controlled by a series of alternate personalities. Only three people know about their existence: her shrink Daniel; her stepmother Anna; and her enigmatic best friend Ella. The perfect trio of trust. When Ella gets a job at a high-end gentleman'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. With no one to turn to and lives at stake, she follows Ella into London's cruel underbelly on a daring rescue mission. 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 life in a misogynist world. With bingeable prose and a clinician's expertise, Chung's psychological debut deftly navigates the swirling confluence of identity, innocence, and the impossible fracturing weights that young women are forced to carry, causing us to question: Does the truth lead to self-discovery, or self-destruction? 650 0 $a Multiple personality $v Fiction. $9 208686 650 0 $a Mentally ill women $v Fiction. $9 280736 650 0 $a Best friends $v Fiction. $9 259735 650 0 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. $9 243891 650 0 $a Psychiatrists $v Fiction. $9 208656 651 0 $a London (England) $v Fiction. $9 204742 655 0 $a Large print books 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction). $2 lcgft $9 858642 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909060359.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4B8FCF62300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
