Reviews for The Ex

[Lou Jar · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

This writer botches mental illness and perpetuates stigmas, literally misdiagnosing. At the end the perpetrator has "schizophrenia" due to multiple personalities. The mental health system failed her and that's why she almost murdered a pregnant woman. Schizophrenics do not experience DID, borderlines do. And borderlines have the wherewithal to not murder someone in the absence of their psychiatrist. This whole book reads like uneducated nonsense from an author who clearly has no education in mental health nor does she have children. It's that obvious.

Really enjoying this series. Love the dynamic characters, and there's a twist that I didn't see coming! Good listen, for sure!
