I couldn't put the book down! It kept me involved thru out. Very entertaining. It brought out all the emotions, I laughed and cried. A very intricate undertaking for a first book, I thought Ms. Mahaffey pulled it off masterfully! Can't wait for her next one.
Absolutely Amazing!

A wonderful, well-written story that tells us how far our minds will go to inhibit trauma and holding on to master everyday tasks. I found the story very moving. The main character Holly has to face life with 5 distinct personalities in her head. (The committee) ruling her day-to-day decisions. What happend to Holly in the past? What caused these interlopers to take residence in her head? The book is well-developed, from laughing out loud to teas - the book was very unpredictable. 5 stars for sure!
Remarkable debut!

Author Shana Mahaffey emerges as a talent with a voice all her own in her remarkable debut novel Sounds Like Crazy. Holly is an Emmy-winning voiceover actress who walks around with voices in her head...and they're not following the script! It's an inventive, eccentric and ultimately healing tale of what happens when we keep secrets too close. Kemble Scott Author of the bestselling novels The Sower and SoMa
