Seriously though, this is a shame because I think the artwork itself has something going for it — more here: https://www.instagram.com/happy_paintgirl/ — but this really isn’t using it to its best advantage.
I agree. It had potential. Unfortunately, the designer went with that ‘grunge’ fad that’s taken hold. I don’t object to the grunge, mind you. Just not here, with the wildness (in a good way) of the imagery. The placement’s poor, too. Too bad.

I tend to be overly literal with my own book covers, and I hate to be captain Obvious, but the sky isn’t blood red.
I found the face! Do I win some kind of prize?
