Troubled literature student Daniella struggles with her dark past while drifting further and further away from reality. With the support of her girlfriend, Amanda, can she overcome her fear and face her past?
An extract from chapter 1:
My mind is a washing machine of thoughts, a whirlwind of sound. All fighting to form a coherent song, a melody that everyone can understand, all my thoughts spinning round and round in a continuous loop- some thoughts pinwheeling at high speeds, others drifting in lazy circles.
The thoughts used to sound like jazz. Oh, the beautiful sound of jazz. Sexy, free-flowing, smooth, confident, funky, jazz. All over the place yet masterfully controlled. Perfectly imperfect. But my thoughts have changed. Recently, they've been anything but beautiful. They're dark, black, angry.
No, not angry.
Furious.
