Sixteen-year-old Mullen is astonishingly ahead of their years, wrapping the heartache and bliss of teenage years into this compelling anthology. They explore the intricacies of an obsessive mind through dreamy recollections of romance and gritty explorations of mental health. From a 14-year-old's desire to be thin, to simply pining over a crush, Mullen illustrates all of it through their striking storytelling. Mullen admits they took heavy inspiration from borderline personality disorder (BPD), an illness they deal with personally. As terrifying as BPD can be, there are also parts in which one feels such extreme bliss. Watermelon Gum explores this very dichotomy. This is a must-read for anyone that has ever felt overwhelmed by the contents of their own mind.
