About this listen

Twenty-eight-year-old Oryn Patterson isn't like other people. Being an extremely shy social introvert is only part of the problem. Oryn has dissociative identity disorder. He may look like a normal man on the outside, but spend five minutes with him, and his daily struggles begin to show.

Oryn shares his life and headspace with five distinctively different alters. Reed, a protective, very straight jock. Cohen, a flamboyantly gay 19-year-old who is a social butterfly. Cove, a self-destructive terror, whose past haunts him. Theo, an asexual man of little emotion, whose focus is on maintaining order. And Rain, a five-year-old child whose only concern is Batman.

Vaughn Sinclair is stuck in a rut. When his job doesn't offer the same thrill it once did, he decides it's time to mix-up his stagnant, boring routine. Little does he know, the man he meets during an impromptu decision to return to college is anything but ordinary.

Vaughn's heart defies logic, and he finds himself falling in love with this strange new man. But how can you love someone who isn't always themself? It may not be easy, but Vaughn is determined to try.

What a different, touching & thought provoking story.
Standing ovation to one of the best narrations I have ever listened to. Told in 1st person POV from only Vaughn’s side, Adam Gold manages to create intricate voices for every single character. Just amazing.
This is not like anything I’ve listened to before and I can’t wait to recommend it to everyone.

Wow, this one will stay with me

This book is... perfection.

Nicky James did something outstanding portraying these characters. Yes, it is a romance book but it is so much more than that. This is a story about trauma, acceptance, recovery and moving on with the help of unconditional love from someone. It really could have been a disaster but I appreciate the author didn't romanticize or fetishise Oryn's mental disorder and wrote it beautifully. I also have to mention Adam Gold did a great job narrating this story. This is going to be one of my favourite books of all time.

It's so much more than a romance book.
