Following the author — anyone who can write a description this powerful probably has much more to share
Honestly, I’m already haunted by Iris vanishing and I haven’t even opened the book yet
The idea that the scariest part of your past might be what you never dared to feel… I’ve never heard it put that way before. Brilliant
That line about guilt that doesn’t scream but stays behind your eyes… chills. I think I’ve felt that before
I’m always cautious with books about trauma, but the tone here feels safe. Like the author isn’t exploiting pain, just exploring it
Between I and I isn’t just a story. It’s an experience — a quiet unraveling of the selves we hide and the voice that never stops watching.
Thomas Elai Grayson appears ordinary: a library worker who knows how to vanish in plain sight. But inside him live three voices — Adam, Martha, and The Shadow — each born from fear, silence, and survival. When Iris, the only person who ever truly saw him, disappears, the fragile balance inside Thomas begins to shift.
This is not a tale of madness. It’s a raw exploration of:
Childhood wounds that never healed — only buried themselves deeper.
Shame, silence, and the unbearable weight of being unseen.
The voices we carry — the ones that protect, distort, and sometimes save us.
Told in fragments, whispers, and unsent messages, Between I and I is a book that doesn’t drag you forward — it lets you in. And once you’re inside, you may find echoes of yourself in Thomas’s silence, his fears, and his fragile hope to simply remain.
💭 If you’ve ever felt unseen… if you’ve ever carried a voice you couldn’t name… this book will meet you there.
