A review by sandiet
The Mirror World of Melody Black by Gavin Extence

5.0

Let me first start by saying that if you suffer from or know someone who struggles with mental illness this will be a tough read. That being said, I absolutely LOVED this book. My first attempt at reading this was probably about 2-3 years ago but I wasn't in the right frame of mind. Tackling it again and I realized I really enjoy reading Gavin Extence. Abby discovers her neighbour's body when she goes to borrow a can of tomato sauce and this discovery is the beginning of a downward spiral in her mental health. As her family and doctor try to reel her in we get an inside look at what it's like to be on the other darker side of mental well being. Told with dark humour and incredible insight Gavin Extence takes the reader on Abby's journey to what is her state of normal.
I urge you to read either book by this author, you won't be disappointed. His character's are quirky just like he is and you'll enjoy reading about them because you probably know someone just like them.
