Elle is just another teenage girl... most of the time. Bubbly and good-natured, she wastes no time making friends on her first day at her new school. But Elle has a secret: she hasn't come alone. She's brought with her a colorful mix of personalities, which come out when she least expects it... Who is Elle, really? And will her new friends stand by her when they find out the truth?

    really liked the art style!

    -I really enjoyed this art style, it felt very Disney / Pixar, modern but still swooping and soft
    - using the colors of hair helped to change who was Elle in the moment, but even expression and posture really helped too and this was done very well visually
    - I didn't exactly follow the tree house versus desert versus ice bit?
    - this was a good start to the book, Maëlyis was a good friend, though Linotte = facepalm
    - I thought it was pretty obvious that she was adopted. I wondered if the aunt was her mom, but the aunt dies– irrelevant?
    - why hasn't the therapist figured this out? (green equals silent)
    - DID = dissociative identity disorder
    - I agree with some reviewers, I would have liked to see the friends bond more thoroughly
    - I did feel like the “~minor” stress led to the changes? over one second?
    - One reviewer points out that DID comes from trauma in early years and this volume not covering that is a bad thing. Also that Blue Hair may be a violent alter = harmful stereotype. but to me it seems a little too early to judge in just this first volume
