Girl in Pieces
Synopsis:
Fans of Girl, Interrupted, Thirteen Reasons Why, and All the Bright Places will love this New York Times bestseller.
"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 and The Sun Is Also a Star
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.

Reviews:
kayowl004 This is one of the best books I have ever read. It depicts a messy life, real mess. That mess creates the realistic nature that left me in tears. I was left with such immense catharsis that I could only imagine how a sequel would play. The representations of mental illness and darker sides of life was done beautifully.
The main character's thoughts are kinda repetitive. I dont like the male love interest either

Rebecca Miller Girl in Pieces is so well written, from the point of view of an unstable teenage girl, that she seems so real she could jump off the page at any time. This is a book of fiction and the characters aren't real, but the issues treated here are. The feelings, the thinking, the problems. A beautiful book to give a voice to the people who have suffered or know someone who went through this. Or to the others like me, to understand the problem better.
