About this listen

‘Social media’s answer to Carol Ann Duffy’ Sunday Times STYLE

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.

Critic Reviews

"Charly constantly astounds me with how inspired she is. It can be patronizing to mention someone’s age when they are very young, as if that’s their only USP; but it’s relevant here, because Charly’s poetry really encapsulates what it is to be a young woman. All the tensions and anxieties and new discoveries." (Pandora Sykes)

"Charly is social media’s answer to Carol Ann Duffy, if Carol Ann Duffy asked the question: 'How can I enjoy poetry whilst checking my Instagram feed on the toilet?' She’s funny and heartfelt and brilliant, she always seems to know how to make you feel less alone." (Sunday Times - Style)

"Brave and beautiful." (Stylist Magazine)

thought provoking and captivating!!

purchased this audible piece out of intrigue and because it was only $11 but have to say I am more than impressed, well worth what I paid and far more, the story line was captivating and the manner in which she preforms this piece keeps you hanging on every word and as an ADHD adult that easily looses focus, that is a feat not many books or authors have accomplished in my mind, I would recommend this to anyone edger to read/hear something new and different, with a great element of bravery and vulnerability

loved it!!!
