Summary
A Barnes and Noble "Best Young Adult Books of 2016". |A New York Public Library "Best Books for Teens in 2016". An Amazon "Best YA Books of 2016".
A heartbreaking, triumphant, funny, and hopeful story of one girl's battle with self-harm.
Charlie Davis is in pieces. At 17, she’s already lost more than most people lose in a lifetime. But she’s learned how to forget it through cutting; the pain washes out the sorrow, until there is nothing but calm. She doesn't have to think about her father, or what happened under the bridge. Her best friend, Ellis, who is gone forever. Or the mother who has nothing left to give her. Kicked out of a special treatment center when her insurance runs out, Charlie finds herself in the bright and wild landscape of Tucson, Arizona, where she begins the unthinkable: The long journey of putting herself back together.
Kathleen Glasgow is also the author of How to Make Friends with the Dark, and You'd Be Home Now.

Oh my god
cried tbh, love this story so much! Such a bittersweet ending for me, but i’m so glad Charlie got through it. It felt like I was there with her, crying at her lowest points and excited for her when things went right. It’s just great!

girl in pieces
loved this story. I suffer from complex PTSD and I'm bi polar. This is a very accurate depiction of a very real young woman's suffering. This was a first class book but also a painful read.

the most boring ever!!
kept seeing this on tiktok and didn't want to see spoilers in case it happened to be a good read
honestly this is the most boring and repetitive book i have read/listened to in forever!!
it's about an emo girl who wants to keep self-harming and seems to be stuck in some sort of perpetual doldrums
cannot continue after chapter three.. really really tried to persist with it
it's so written in such an immature and overly descriptive style as if it's written by some teenager, loads of gratuitous swearing, unimaginative character development, oh she works across the room and stumbled on the carpet.. written by an amateur
honestly it's just awful!! i don't know why there is such hype
