I really enjoyed Mad Mabel. It’s dark, clever, and surprisingly funny in places. Elsie is such a sharp, layered character and honestly, I never questioned her. I was fully on her side the whole time. She was a special character.
What really stood out to me was how well fleshed out the characters were. No one felt one-dimensional or thrown in just to serve the plot. Elsie especially felt so real…complicated, guarded, but deeply human. The relationship between her and the young girl had so much depth and emotion woven into it. You could feel the vulnerability as feelings were developed.
This story made me feel so many things…protective, tense, nostalgic, even a little heartbroken at times. It’s character-driven in the best way, and it completely pulled me in. I also felt like listening to this book rather than reading it made me feel so much more. It was storytelling at its best!!!
