Elle(s): The New Girl helps demystify a common mental illness
I love stories that feature characters with multiple or split personalities. It’s a trope that works in nearly every genre. Demonic possessions in horror, crazed killers in crime thrillers, unreliable narrators a la Fight Club. They all make for compelling stories. The coming-of-age story is one genre where this trope is seldom applied. That’s about to change thanks to Elle(s): The New Girl.
