The Mirror World of Melody Black by Gavin Extence
5.0
"People talk about dark moods, black moods, all the time. But depression isn’t a dark mood. It’s an ash-grey mood, or possibly some type of beige."
This story starts when Abigail Williams, freelance journalist, instead of having a quiet dinner with her boyfriend, stumbles across her neighbour's body. This unexpected incident sets in motion an unstoppable chain of events that leads to Abby's meeting with Melody Black. In a psychiatric ward.
The Mirror World of Melody Black tells us a story of a young woman suffering from depression. Seeing as the author has experienced mental breakdown himself, this story provides us a unique insight into a mind of a depressed person. And Abby is an excellent narrator. She is sarcastic, painfully honest, and her view of the world is incredibly fascinating.
Witty and compelling, this book won't leave you long after you finish it.
