One woman. Two voices. Trouble on the horizon.
Josslyn is done. Done with her abusive boyfriend, done hiding her pain, and definitely done ignoring the other voice inside her head. Alicia isn’t just a voice though. She is bold, violent, and more than ready to step in when Josslyn can’t take anymore. Blackouts, memory loss, and creepy phone calls only add fuel to the fire. My Bad Self is a fast-paced prequel to the My ... Self Series, setting the stage for a psychological thriller where two very different women share one very complicated life.
Spillin’ the Book Tea:
This novella gave me exactly what I wanted. It’s fast, it’s intense, and it wastes zero time getting to the dark stuff. I haven’t read the full My ... Self Series yet, but after this, you better believe it’s moving up my list.
Josslyn is timid and trying to survive her toxic relationship, but Alicia? Alicia is not here to play nice. The split POV between them works so well. It keeps the tension high and the pages turning. I couldn’t get enough of wondering if and when Alicia would take over for good.
Even though it’s short, this story is loaded with high-stakes tension and unsettling moments. I loved how it explored trauma, survival, and identity while still keeping the pacing quick. It’s messy, sharp, and wildly entertaining. Thanks to Booksprout and Jessica Huntley for the audiobook.
