Description
Holly Colino’s descent into madness took a long time. A series of unfortunate life events painted her paranoid delusions in a shade of green envy. Everywhere she looked were women that wanted to be her so badly that they would copy everything about her. Her hair, her eyebrows, her lips, her entire identity stolen. Her path for justice took her on a collision course with the mother of an 8-year-old boy that would end in tragedy.

Holly's family dynamic is bewildering - she is being given a place to stay at one cousin's place, threatens someone...and is being thrown out. Then the next family member offers her a place to stay...the same thing happens...and relative no 3 agrees to let her move in, just like that? Sweeping everything, every action of hers, under the carpet - without, say, getting them all together and at the very least TALK about it? After listening to just a few of Holly's rants, it is so painfully obvious that she has a mental illness that, at its core, developed hand in hand with a disturbed self image. But what was known about her early life doesn't appear to be so traumatic; I wonder if there was more to it than "only" the lack of parents.
