Reviews
"[An] electrifying account . . . this is one whirlwind ride." -- Booklist
"Pershall's way of describing how the disordered mind works is joltingly accurate. Loud in the House of Myself is a beautifully written sliver of understanding that is frank, self- deprecating, and, at times, funny. This memoir is more than just a tear-jerking page turner; it's the manifesto of a 'strange girl' and could be, for some, a lifeline." -- Bust
