You never forget your first love... Silver Linings Playbook meets Past the Shallows in this agonisingly beautiful story of young adulthood, of pain and love so strong it can consume you, and of what it means to come out the other side.
Matt Lacey is in a mental health facility recovering from a breakdown.
In an attempt to work through a mess of conflicting thoughts and feelings, he writes, unwinding the story of his adolescence with the beautiful, impassive, fierce Christina.
As Matt delves into the more agonising moments of his past, he has to learn to look directly at the pain and love that have made him who he is now.
Brazenly wearing its heart on its sleeve, Electric and Mad and Brave is a heightened and technicolour story about the soaring joy and numbing nightmare of being young and hopelessly in love.
Tom Pitts is a Melbourne-based writer, teacher, sound designer and musician. Electric and Mad and Brave is his first novel.
