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.

Reading about what Charlie was going through really touched me, especially as someone who has been on the receiving end of watching loved ones experience deep depression and self-harm. At times, you can feel so helpless—you just want to make everything better, show up, be present, and remind them that they are never alone.

This book was truly an eye-opener for me. It reminded me of the importance of continuing to be there, offering a safe and supportive space, and encouraging those we love to embrace their talents and their own story in a healthy and balanced way.

I genuinely loved reading this book and I’m honestly gutted that it has come to an end. I really wish there was a Part 2 so we could follow Charlie into her next chapter. 🥹📖❤️

Definitely a book that stays with you long after you’ve finished reading it.

what a powerful and thought provoking book ❤️
