The literary world has seen a rise in authors attempting to merge multiple genres into one cohesive narrative. One such example is the book that combines the life story of a girl who lost her mother, struggled with anorexia and other mental health issues, with a thriller plot twist. The theme of eating disorders is well-explored and thought-provoking, making the reader feel invested in the protagonist's journey. However, the introduction of the thriller element, where the adult protagonist discovers her mother is alive and in danger, falls slightly short in terms of creating a suspenseful atmosphere. Despite this, the unique blend of genres and intriguing idea make for an engaging read. This article will delve into the intersection of mental health and thriller genres in contemporary literature, examining the successes and challenges of combining these two distinct styles. We will explore how authors can effectively merge these genres to create a compelling narrative that not only thrills but also raises awareness about important mental health issues.
