Fans of Girl, Interrupted, Thirteen Reasons Why, and All the Bright Places will love the New York Times bestselling novel Girl in Pieces.

"A haunting, beautiful, and necessary book that will stay with you long after you've read the last page."--Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything

Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At seventeen she's already lost more than most people do in a lifetime. But she's learned how to forget. The broken glass washes away the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. You don't have to think about your father and the river. Your best friend, who is gone forever. Or your mother, who has nothing left to give you.
Every new scar hardens Charlie's heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much. It hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge.
A deeply moving portrait of a girl in a world that owes her nothing, and has taken so much, and the journey she undergoes to put herself back together. Kathleen Glasgow's debut is heartbreakingly real and unflinchingly honest. It's a story you won't be able to look away from.

a beautifully heartbreaking novel

Jinelle S. - 4 years 11 months ago

This book was absolutely beautiful. I had heard that this book was powerful, but this book was so much better than I could have expected. From the get-go, the writing was not only stunning, but it was also so incredibly raw and realistic. Nothing was ever sugarcoated, and from start to finish, Kathleen Glasgow provided a real and authentic story over the struggles of a teenage girl. Diving deep into mental health, this book beautifully deals with numerous themes (so pls pls pls look up triggers beforehand, because nothing is held back in this novel) and how they affect one's daily life. As Charlie's story progresses, you will become so incredibly attached to her character and it feels as if the decisions she makes affect you, just as much as they affect her. I highly recommend this as it gives an uncommon perspective into the everyday lives of teens who struggle with mental health, as this is definitely one of those books where you start the book in one way and finish it with a completely new view on life. #SpringPicks

This book will beautifully break you. Kathleen Glasgow added a bit of romance to it but didn't overdo it. Girl in pieces will wander back into your mind after finishing it. You can feel Charlie's raw emotions, which will have you in tears. The book perfectly describes how it feels to live with mental illness. I would give this an age rating of 14+. This may trigger many people, This book includes self-h*rm, Su*cide, Grief, loss, homelessness, drug use, toxic relationships, etc.

Really good book. It brings perspective to the warped world of the abused, fostered, and “forgotten”. A book that needs to be read. Really great read, and eye opening to see through the lense of someone who feels as though they are shattered due to the hand life has dealt.
