I PLEAD ALTER EGO
by Amanda Verrall
Clare is a successful but newly divorced woman who battles various mental health
issues including sex addiction, alcoholism, OCD, an eating disorder and depression.
She juggles her demanding career and life as a single parent, all the while trying
to hide her increasingly uncontrollable behaviour, which manifests itself as an
alter ego called Roxy.
At the dawn of a new digital age, Clare joins Facebook, a newly released social media website that has taken over from MySpace, where she connects and meets with a former flame. Following an emotionally sadomasochistic dalliance with this former lover, Clare then has a string of casual sex encounters with strangers.
With a growing drink problem that sees the alter ego Roxy take over the decision-making, Clare is led into dangerous situations.
Clare spirals out of control, falling into a deep depression, but can she hope to find a way out?

This is quite possibly one of the best books I've ever read. Its racey, naughty, emotional and an absolute page turner for me!! Opening up the taboos of addiction, mental health, eating disorders, love, lust and so much more. I laughed outloud, I cried, I felt a rollercoaster of emotions, brilliantly written and so much identification.
I highly recommend this book!
Really well written, sad, true, and in parts darkly funny, I think every human could identify with some aspect of this read. Enjoyed reading.
This powerful, unique and relentlessly honest book takes the reader into the dark world of the addictive personality. An essential read for those who struggle with unhealthy and damaging behaviours and insightful and illuminating for those who do not. I thoroughly recommend this book and eagerly await the sequel.
A hard hitting novel that gripped me from the outset. The struggles of daily life for Claire and her downward spiral of her mental health left me unable to put this book down. It leaves the reader on a cliff hanger and I cant wait for the sequel. 100% recommend giving this one a read.
