Maggie battles an enemy she cannot escape—her own brain. DEFECTIVE a novel

Unread post

Hi Booktalk Friends,

My novel, DEFECTIVE, was released by Black Opal Books in April. The genre is New Adult/Women's Fiction.

Defective tells the story of University of Pittsburgh law student Maggie Hovis, who struggles to hold on to her fiancé, her grade point average and her own sanity as she unknowingly struggles with Bipolar II Disorder. It is an honest account of a rocky journey against mental illness, and Maggie’s quest to attain the love and achievements her uncooperative brain has always insisted she did not deserve.

It's available through Amazon: amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=searc ... =defective

Black Opal Books: blackopalbooks.com/shop-our-store/black ... /defective

Barnes & Noble: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/defecti ... 1626941250

It can also be found on Kobo, All Romance and Google Play

Check out the Giveway on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/90953-defective

I want readers to realize ordinary human beings with full lives, loved ones and obligations confront mental health issues daily. Yet they can find ways to overcome their disabilities and find resolution. If one person recognizes herself in these pages and seeks help, I've done my job.

Please buy a copy today, It may change your life or enable you to help someone you love. -susan sofayov

From DEFECTIVE the novel

His cold, flat voice sounded resigned, and mine screeched in desperation.
He reached out, and I sat down, wiping my nose on my sleeve. Inhaling, I imagined my yoga instructor’s voice. “Inhale, relax, exhale.” I closed my eyes during the exhale, hoping to gain some control over the tears.
Reaching over, he picked up my hand and locked his fingers around mine. “I will always love you, but I’m leaving. Please don’t call me, because if I hear your voice, I’ll cave. More than anything, I want to hold you in my arms and make you stop crying. But I can’t anymore. There are two of you living inside your head, the one I love and the one that scares the shit out of me.”
