She Must Be Mad by Charly Cox
4.0
This was a second read for me. The first time I listened to the audiobook I highly recommend you both listen and read this work. I got a lot out of hearing Charly’s words in her own voice. Reading the words on the page allowed me to reflect on what was being addressed and see how those words impacted my own emotions. This is a great collection for women! It is broken up into sections of Age/Growing up, Mental Health, Body Image, and Love. I am so happy I purchased a copy of this so that I can revisit time and time again when I need a reminder we all go through similar things in life.
Favorite quotes:
“It’s wine on a Saturday and lies that you learn as foreplay”
“It is what it is until it isn’t quite it anymore”
“With the memory of when you ‘Cheer up sweetheart, the thing with People like you is they’ll only love you When you’re dead”
“You are solemnly bored of pity, of being bedridden…of performing”
“I got a fork stuck in the dishwasher And now I can’t stop crying Whoever said depression was glamorous Had clearly never considered dying Over a peanut butter-covered utensil”
Oh kale leaves How you depress me I only eat you So boys want to UNDRESS ME”
“I’m sure we’d never have grown up if We’d been told where we were going”
