About Make Me Better:

From Hugo award winner Sarah Gailey, think MIDSOMMAR meets NINE PERFECT STRANGERS, if the retreat/spring festival was hosted by Cthulu's favorite MLM.

You were pure once. You can be made pure again.

Celia is so tired of being alone. All she wants is to have a family—to belong to someone. That's why she's going to Kindred Cove for the annual Salt Festival held by the secluded community that lives there. They promise that healing is possible. They promise that transformation is inevitable. There is no grief at Kindred Cove, because there is no suffering. Nothing is ever lost.

Celia knows that, at that mysterious island surrounded by that impossible, ever-growing reef -- she will find herself.

She’s ready to be healed. She’s ready to be transformed.

She's ready to believe.
