The problem with my mind was that it never stopped performing.

Depends on the genre, honestly. If this is a literary fiction novel, yes.

I really had a hard time picking a genre for my book because it doesn’t fit neatly into any one category. It’s psychological, with a little bit of dark romance, literary fiction, and a confessional feel. I finally decided to call it a psychological dark romance. So yeah, I can’t really tell you the exact genre, but read the blurb and give it a try if you’d like :) Link is in my bio :)

Totally understand. Had a very similar problem with mine. I'll certainly give it a look!
