    About this audiobook

    ‘Brave and beautiful.’ Stylist Magazine ‘Social media’s answer to Carol Ann Duffy’ Sunday Times STYLE ‘Divine.’ Cecelia Ahern

    This audiobook includes exclusive introductions to a select number of Charly’s poems, an interview between herself and her friend, Jack Harries, and music from Tom Rosenthal.

    She Must be Mad explores coming-of-age: the pain and beauty of love, the relief and the agony of turning from girl to woman, the isolation of an untethered mind and the power and subjugation of the body.

    Charly captures the formative experiences of today’s young women from the poignant to the prosaic in writing that is at once witty, wry and heartfelt. Wayward nights out that don’t go as planned; the righteous anger at those men with no talent or skill or smarts who occupy the most powerful positions in the world; the strange banality of madness and, of course, the hurt and indecision of unrequited love.

    For every woman surviving and thriving in today’s world, for every girl who feels too much; this is a call for communion, and you are not alone.

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      So beautiful, relatable, powerful. Listened out of curiosity and I’m now a fan of Charly Cox! And will be paying more attention to poetry in future...
    • 3/5
      I will give this book a 3.75 stars. Although I love poetry and enjoy young poets books this for some reason, in some parts, seemed repetitive also in regards to other books out there. I do like her style and her voice, I think she did a great job considering her age but some how it doesn’t fly off to four stars for me. Topics here are important, I like her stand. Who knows what she will bring forth in ten, twenty, years when life has weathered her up a bit. As of now what I think it misses is the sense of the eternal, that few poets, especially few young poets, look for. It’s an enjoyable book I must say, yet not memorable.
      At the end of the audio book I listened to there’s an 40’ interview, very enjoyable, I do like her.

      3.75 stars - I like Charly's exploration of her trek to womanhood coloured by 21st century sensitivity with expected themes like love approached.
      Her voice is soothing and I liked the soft new age music to introduce the book.
      Very promising!
