**I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.**

Long Black Veil caught my attention, however, for the “living with all your selves” portion of the front cover quote. Because I have dissociative identity disorder. I thought that that was what it was about, but no. Even though the story tells that of a trans person, I did relate and find myself figuring out how to better put into words what it is like having DID. People don’t understand that it’s not just about loving your body and being OK with it that way.

The story itself is full-circle, which I did enjoy.
