Short-Stories/One Shot: My Madness
This book was written by myaura
--> Cover/Description
I like the cover itself, I think it related to the title perfectly, but I think the title needs a little "retouch", it doesn't blend well which makes the cover look not as good as it should.
The Description definitely needs work, it doesn't make me want to open the book, there aren't any questions and definitely does not raise my curiosity at all, reading without actually opening the book, makes me think that is about mental disorder, so with this kind of complex subject you can make your description mysterious, twisted, and with lots of unanswered questions.
As an example, i would write something like:
"When mental illness takes over your life choices,
when living seems like a burden to the one's you love the most,
When you world isn't yours anymore...
The story of Alex Wood, not only a loving Dad, a heartbroken ex-husband's, or the best friend that so many would envy...but the story of this dark moments, a story that deserves to be told...a story with an end"
Something like that, giving it the impact that it deserves.
-->The beginning
I like your book a lot, brings to the surface more than one extremely difficult yet so important topic, that so many people still fails to recognize the impact that has on so many people.
I was actually disappointed that was only one shot story because I felt I could keep reading this all day.
-->Detailing/Grammar
You should consider editing your work but is not a major thing.
I honestly think you could add more details, not specifically about surroundings because is not what this kind of book should be focused on, but I think you can stretch more on the emotional side.
-->Character Development/Plot
Your focus was only on one character in specific, and I think you could have included more about his background, how used to be his childhood, when did he realize he had a mental disorder, how was his relationship with Ceceel, little details that would make the story feel more complete.
-->Presence as Writer
Was no presence of you in this chapter, and I don't think is a necessary thing, but just a suggestion you could have added a little introduction chapter explaining why the reason why you did this book, or just add a little note at the end, but that, of course, is only a suggestion.
-->My view as a reader...
I loved this book, I wanted more, in fact, I'm familiar with anxiety and suicidal thoughts and this definitely raised my interest, although I think you could develop your description a little more and add some more details into the story, I genuinely loved this.
I would rate this book 3.5/5
