Lola, Party of Eight
Lola: The complete "Lola, Party of 8" series
Meet Lola Murray—and the seven other personalities who live in her head…
A patient at the Rosewood Hospital for Mental Wellness, Lola struggles to cope with Dissociative Identity Disorder—or as she calls the many egos, alters.
Their names are Maria, Tim, Clare, Zoe, Frog, Rabbit, and Samantha—all ranging in age, gender, and with wildly different personalities. But with five women and two men battling to live their lives through Lola, it’s only a matter of time before someone wins…
Therapy sessions threaten the survival of the group…
With the help of Lola’s therapist, she’s able to better understand the many personalities living in her head. They are like life-long friends, and their presence is all Lola has ever known. Without them, she’d be in this big world all by herself, and that is even more paralyzing than the alternative her doctor has suggested—merge all seven personalities into one, dominant Lola.
Fifty-one years is long enough…
With release from the hospital coming up fast, Lola’s alters scramble to prevent being erased. But after fifty-one years of hosting their lives while struggling for her own—when will it be her turn to live? Lola has to consider life outside of the institution. Friends, a job, and maybe even romance—how will she function with so many people making choices for her?
As her first act of independence, Lola must decide. Will she live the rest of her life as herself, or as Lola, party of eight?

This might be my favorite Erin Lee series. I grew so attached to Lola and the alters that saying goodbye to them was bittersweet.

I remember being intrigued about this series long before I was an Erin Lee fan. I found reading about a Host and her Alters to be an entertaining and educational experience. The Alters kept me on my toes throughout as they worked to drive Lola's life and behaviors. It was fascinating how Lee was able to craft and create so many unique and distinct voices all set within one body.
The paperback version of this series is gorgeous. I thoroughly enjoyed reading these books back-to-back and experiencing all of the turbulent emotions once again. Just WOW. It is so brilliantly written and also really make me think more and empathize for people in this situation.

I stumbled across this book and was pleased to see an author writing about DID (dissociative identity disorder), previously known as MPD, multiple personality disorder. I was skeptical as to how Lee was going to pull of giving 7 alters a rightful place in the book, so I was pleasantly surprised at how well established each of the alters were.
We meet Lola, a 50 something woman living in a psychiatric hospital, who has DID. We meet each of the alters, their personalities and functions within Lola's body. We are taken through each of their struggles to wanting to have their own needs met. Lola's ultimate goal is to get out of the psychiatric hospital and to start living a normal life, after having given up 30 years to the hospital. The book is well written, as I said, the characters are very well established, and Lee does a good job of bringing real mental issues into fiction.
I think the only problem I have with the series is that book 3 rushes to merge the alters and get Lola on with her life.
