busyTHERE WILL BE SPOILERS.
Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned. (I will not reply to every comment; I call partial comment amnesty. But I may well join some of the discussion, or answer questions or whatnot.)
You can also start a book discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence, since I always wind up getting involved in these things.
Have fun!

I do have strong echoes of an excellen short story that no amount of Google-fu is readily revealing the title of, where th protagonist (also a young woman) has her personality go through a disconitnuity (in that case, as a result of a party drug that basically disrupts the storage of short term memory, IIRC), and so I was wondering if you might have read the same story (I think it's maybe five or ten years old, and I think I have it in one of the twenty-mumble "Years Best SF" compendiums with Gardner Dozois' name on the spine I've got on my shelves) and put your own tapeworm-flavored spin on it.
Which is to say, I liked that, and I like this so far, and am going to be parking my ass in a hammock to read because I had to work half a day today.

This reminded me of the awesome book The Rook by Daniel O'Malley, featuring a heroine who's had her memories wiped completely, who's learning her new world through the dossiers and letters that she wrote for her future self before the wipe.
