Ballad for a Mad Girl

one of the best books ive read this year !

only 300 pages but the characters were so well put together and it felt like I knew every single character personally... like how is that possible to do in 300 pages??? it usually takes a whole series to get connected to characters that much

What if madness is really grief, trapped inside? You think it's gone but it's still in you, worming through your flesh, infecting everything.

— About how terrifying growing up and facing our demons could be. It's also a chilling exploration of grief entwined in paranormal elements. Great read!
