Synopsis – Don’t Forget the Crazy
Her lists are life or death.
“If it’s on the list, I have to do it.”
Milli Morgan lives by her lists. Groceries, goals, organising her boss – nothing escapes being ticked off her ever-growing to-do lists. Order brings her comfort; control keeps the chaos at bay. Everyone can rely on Milli.
Until the day new items start appearing on her list in red ink.
At first, she blames stress. A prank. Someone playing mind-games. But one instruction on the list refuses to be erased and demands to be completed.
A command so terrible she would have to be crazy to tick it off.
Don’t Forget the Crazy is a dark psychological suspense short story about obsession, perfection, and the dangerous pressure of always being “the good girl.” Fans of Gillian Flynn, Lisa Jewell, Patricia Highsmith, and Shirley Jackson will devour this chilling portrait of order unravelling into darkness.

My Review
Don’t Forget the Crazy: The gripping, psychological thriller short story about obsession and losing control by Lucy Kaufman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This story sucked me in right away. I was interested and wanted to know what was going to happen.
The premise was unique and different. It was refreshing to read something different with a unique storyline.
This is a short story so it was a very quick read.
The ending was sadly a let down for me which impacted my rating a bit. A few more pages fleshing out some of the issues raised would have made this a rare 5 star rating for me.
I look forward to reading more things written by this author.
