She Must Be Mad by Charly Cox

4.0

Book Review:

She Must Be Mad has been getting more buzz from people including one of my favourite YA authors, Holly Bourne. I was therefore excited to read it especially as she has been compared to Carol Ann Duffy who I have enjoyed in the past. She Must Be Mad is a great read for anyone and everyone.

I really enjoy that Charly Cox dealt with her own mental health in the book. This was something that I haven't really read in poetry and prose like this before. I again think that Cox is a good writer and conveys her emotions really well. I also connected to her story and poetry a lot, especially in her social media. The way that she also dealt with mental health and overcoming this was great. I read must of this in one sitting before YALC and I now am anxious to get my own copy so I can reread it and get more people to love it as much as I do.

The Verdict:

She Must be Mad mixes poetry and prose for a wonderful book that is so important in the age of social media.
