Cadence has a multiple personality disorder and it has made her very attractive to the special unit of the FBI, Bureau of False Flag Ops division. Not only is Cadence in her body, but so is Adrienne and Shiro. They think of one another as sisters and they get along fairly well.
Cadence has a new partner, George, who has his own issues. However, it’s only George in his body.They get along fairly well, but then, Cadence is a pretty easygoing woman who tolerates a lot of things and just takes things...more

There are two authors I can think of who remain hilarious even as they write over a dozen books, Janet Evanovich and MaryJanice Davidson. Recently I was delighted to discover that Ms. Davidson had written a sequel to her book, Me, Myself, and I, a delightful novel about an FBI agent who struggles with D.I.D. Not not damsel in distress symptoms, but dissociative identity disorder (commonly referred to as multiple personality disorder). I gleefully picked up Yours, Mine and Ours from the library,...more

Read with caution if you have not finished Me, Myself, and Why.
First sentence: "--doing in here?" I blinked at the woman across from me.
The sequel to Me, Myself and Why? finds Cadence, Shiro, and Adrienne still working at BOFFO. They are still with Patrick and still trying to merge into one personality (although they are still unsure they want that). They find themselves faced with another serial killer and must all work together, along with their BOFFO coworkers, to track the monster down....more

Perhaps I should have my head examined for buying this book, after all I remembered how much I disliked the first one in this trilogy ( I have a feeling it may be more than three books though). But I decided what the heck, how bad can it be? Well I can safely say it is not as bad as the first book; we at least know what we are in for character wise. On the other hand this is almost a worse book, because we get to spend more time within Candice's other selves and we find out that Shiro is not as...more
Boring, boring, boring. The sequel to Me, Myself and I is just as boring as the first book. A "secret" department - BOFFO - of the FBI only hires people with mental illnesses, i.e. multiple personality disorder, sociopath, kleptomania, etc. These 'agents' employ their unique skills to stop a serial killer of 14-yr old boys. The narrator of the stories is the multiple personality agent and the story switches without warning from personality to another.

Crazy as Hell...
O. M. G. I am still shocked, days later, by Yours, Mine, and Ours. I don't know how Davidson can have a mind like that and create such brilliance and live in the normal world. Where has she been all my life? Sure, I read her Undead series and I love it, but this new BOFFO series goes beyond what is normal. It's crazy as hell and I love it!

In this the second of Davidson's Me, Myself and Why series, Cadence and her "sisters" are after a serial killer who kills once a year and always a 14 year old white male. But other than that requirement, there is no other common factor. The kids are rich, poor, only children, from multi-children families, different hair/eye/skin tones etc. Oh, and the kills are from all over the country. Only our girls have seen the pattern and realized that a serial killer is out there. Of course, since they do...more
Well this book was a big disappointment in my opinion. I usually enjoy Mary Janice Davidson books but this was not one of them. I found the story line boring and uninteresting. It has been awhile since I read the first in this series so I was completely confused through out this book. If you read this one be sure and read Me, Myself and Why? first and I would recommend reading them close together. I read so much I don't remember ever detail from every book and the lag from reading the first book...more

First, let me say, I didn't expect to enjoy this book as much as I am. I'm guilty of judging a book by it's cover in this case.
I made the wrong assumption that this would be a mushy love story, even though the summary makes no suggestion to it. I was so wrong and I'd like to extend my apologies to the author and the future readers for my wicked assumptions.

Second book in this series follows the anything but typical FBI Agent Cadence Jones. Cadence’s multiple personalities—including her two “sisters”, Shiro and Adrienne, serve as an invaluable “talent” to the FBI. As a secret part of the FBI, BOFFO (Bureau of False Flag Ops) only hires operatives with psychological disorders with the theme of “hire a psycho to catch a psycho.” These books are crazy, interesting and funny. The author’s notes at the beginning are hilarious and assure us that mental h...more

I really enjoyed reading it. George is my favorite character even though he is a sociopath.
There were many laugh out loud moments, even the gross moments were fun. There is always a smile on my face when reading it.
Cadence must find the JBJ/JBK killer (there were discrepancies about the killer's name throughout the book so I'm not sure which is the right one). Cadence meets Dr. Max Gallo, one of the grieving families and Shiro ends up falling in love with him.

This book started out so well and then it kinda ended flat. It seemed like Cadence/Shiro did a lot of running around after nothing and Adrienne hardly made an appearance at all. Which I guess is good for anyone near Adrienne but bad for readers because she makes it fun. I am not sure what to make of New Girl but I do like the yummy Dr. Gallo. Will be interesting to see if he pops up in the next book (is there going to be a next book?)

Was not very impressed with this book, I am usually able to read MaryJanice Davidson books very quickly. This one took almost two weeks. I don't like taking that long to read any book. It just seemed much choppier than the first. It was an okay effort but fell flat. I think she's going for mystery writing but needs help getting from point A to point B in a book instead of it all just happily fitting together at the end with no real explanation. I hope if there is a number three that she reviews...more
I didn't read the book jacket blurb so I was expecting paranormal/urban fantasy. This is the 2nd book in a series featuring an FBI agent (working for a special division called BOFFO)who has multiple personality disorder. The main personality is Cadence and her two sisters are Shiro and Adrienne. It is a quirky take on the whole sleuth/detective story. I plan to go back to the first book to see how the author introduces these characters.
A FBI agent with Dissociative Identity Disorder? The psychologist in me was intrigued. Unfortunately the humor became obnoxious around page 150. The serious issue of boys being murdered had potential to make the story more suspenseful, and I would've have preferred if it had just to give the story some balance and make the main character Cadence/Shiro/Adrienne at little less obnoxious. Otherwise, an okay read reminiscent of the Undead series.
I enjoyed this second book in the series even more. We had a foundation to base the girls' behaviour on, more of an insight into the other characters and more romance. Although I do reserve my judgement on Patrick. The whole division is full of interesting people and it is great having characters who can do all the things you'd love your 'police-type' characters to be able to do but can't - almost like a psychotic men in black.
I have to say that although this book was an enjoyable enough read, it didn't grab me like MaryJanice's other series about Betsy the Vampire Queen. I'll give credit, though, for originality. I have to say I've never read a book with characters like this one. When you put a sociopath, a person with multiple personality disorder, and a woman who thinks her reflection is her mortal enemy, it does lead for some pretty funny situations.
An interesting mix of the ridiculous (this IS a MJD book) and serious, especially handling the idea of someone with Dissociative Identity Disorder as primary protags. I like the character development and I'm actually really interested to see where the author takes it from here. And the whole serial killer thing isn't a bad plot either, I just find its the characters that really made this enjoyable
All the main characters in this book come from horrific abusive backgrounds and have several mental/emotional flaws as a result. Did I mention this is a "light romantic comedy"? The fact that the author makes it works (so well!) makes the book a must-read. Pure fluff story-wise, but the strong characters stick in my head long after. I'm liking this story more and more in retrospect.

I encountered MJD a few years ago, laughing my way through Undead and Unwed. Betsy, Queen of the Dead is the most unlikely vampire I've ever met--shallow, vapid, whiny, and obsessed with footwear. I have been repeatedly delighted by her cast of oddball characters and imaginative settings.
MJD fans will not be disappointed by Me, Myself, and Why? and it sequel, Yours, Mine, and Ours. Once again MJD delivers off-the-wall characters, rapid-fire dialogue, and her general trademark insanity. These tw...more

Yours, Mine, and Ours picks up where Me, Myself, and Why? left off. It took a while for me to pick up the rhythm of Davidson's writing style since she's writing in three voices: Cadence, Shiro and Adrienne. I like all three of the mutliple personality characters, but in this book, I found myself gravitating to Shiro. I surprised myself by laughing out loud regularly at George, the sociopath (and Cadence's BOFFO partner). I don't recall him being so funny in Me, Myself, and Why? Shiro's (and Cade...more
I won this on Goodreads! Thank you so much!
That being said, I had a REALLY hard time getting into this. The main character is actually 3 people...she has multiple personality disorder. It took a while for me to figure out which character was the one speaking. By the end, I felt really bad for Shiro (one of the personalities) cause she was in love with Max, but was moving in with Patrick cause he was Cadence's boyfriend and Cadence is the dominant personality.
About half way through, the mystery p...more

I do enjoy this group of characters!!!!!!! If you want to read this you will enjoy it more if you read book one first (me myself and why) I have not read anything like this before and have to stay on your toes...who is running the body?!? Just a different and fun fun read!!!!
The second installment of the BOFFO series did not disappoint. Cadence, Adrienne and Shiro are on the case of the JBK (June Boy Killer). They are still involved with Patrick and things seem pretty good. There is plenty of Sociopath George Pinkman and the addition of a new partner Emma Jan Thyme. They are a lot of fun on the case as well. Oh and another new addition, Olive or Dawg. This mystery was a gas as always and I am definitely moving this up to one of my recommendations to everyone.

Had I known this was the second of a trilogy I might have enjoyed it much more. However, I spent he first several chapters thoroughly confused before I learned to decipher the voices of each character. The story became more captivating as it went on, but I never did get used to the conversational and almost chick-flick way of writing.
3.5 cause it's wonderfully weird, but not as good as the first one. Seems like a whole lot of building up to not as much action as the first time, but it's different enough to make up for that. And the cover art leads you to think it's a way different kind of book.
Davidson makes mental illness both truthful and amusing in this series. Cadence Jones and her "sisters" are a hoot. Great easy read, unless you can't abide mental/emotional problems being funny (I'm looking at my brother).
