A remote island infamous for its miraculous ecology.
A once-in-a-lifetime chance to fix everything that's broken.
But sometimes growth requires sacrifice....

WELCOME TO KINDRED COVE.

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.

Praise for this book

"Make Me Better is a hypnotic tide pool of a novel, a habitat of horror teeming with all types of taxonomies of folkish frights. It is a dizzying display of unwell wellness, encrusted in the brine of belief systems unfamiliar and curdled, that sucks you right in and never lets you up for air." - Clay McLeod Chapman

"With a gloriously creepy atmosphere, unreliable narrators on every page, and a story that will hurt in the best way possible, this is absolutely Gailey at their finest." - Katee Robert

"Emotionally arresting, deliciously provocative, impossible to predict, MAKE ME BETTER is a singular novel by a singular artist. I loved it. Sarah Gailey--your mind!" - Courtney Summers
