I think that this review is going to be extremely difficult to write. I have so many thoughts and opinions on this book, but I don't know how to write them. This book had an impact on me, and it made me think. It made me think a little too much, but I think I'm okay. Like an orphan, I came here with no clothes. Like an orphan, I was wrapped in a bed sheet and left on the lawn of Regions Hospital in the freezing sleet and snow, blood seeping through the flowered sheet. I remember the stars that night. They were like salt against the sky, like someone spilled the shaker against very dark cloth. That mattered to me, their accidental beauty. The last thing I thought I might see before I died on the cold, wet grass". I connected with Charlie. I felt her desperation for money and a job and a place to live, but I couldn't really connect with her pain and self-harm.

Girl in Pieces by Glasgow Kathleen

Even now while writing this review I have the urge to take a knife and cut myself and waste a month. and a half of progress.

I want to discuss some of my favorite romance books with mental health representation. When I read them, I felt it deep into my soul. I love reading a book with strong mental health representation. I love watching a character struggle with themselves and struggle with their mind. Before I go on, let me just say that this book is very triggering, so if you struggle with suicidal thoughts or self-harm I would not recommend reading this book.

Did we miss something on diversity?

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

She had skin like mine. Feeling my eyes on her, she hastily slid down her sleeve, cloaking her thin, fresh red scars from view. Readers] will find themselves driven to see Charlie’s story through. They will better understand a world that often makes no sense to outsiders. Glasgow’s debut novel is a dark read, but the engaging writing will win an audience for [Glasgow].”- VOYA, Starred review I'm tired and angry at me. For letting myself get smaller and smaller in the hopes that he would notice me more. But how can someone notice you if you keep getting smaller?” This book was very personal for me. It triggered a lot of emotion and memory out of me. Without going into too much detail, I can relate very much to the protagonist in this book. But I think we all can in our own ways if we can remember what it's like to be a teenager and even imagine what it's like to be a teenager in Charlotte's life.Raw, visceral, and starkly beautiful, with writing that is at times transcendent in its brilliance. . . . An unforgettable story of trauma and resilience.”–Kerry Kletter, author of The First Time She Drowned I'm sorry if this review is odd, it's just incredibly difficult for me to review books like this, especially ones that had an impact or made me think/feel a lot. It was hard to come up with what to say, what words to use, but here it is. If I apologized a lot throughout this, I'm sorry. That doesn't help my case, but I honestly do not know what to say. But anyways, thanks for reading, let me know what you think because I just feel odd right now and can't think at all 😅 Glasgow’s debut doesn’t shy away from the physical act of cutting or exploring the physical and emotional residue left behind. We see Charlie hide the shame of her scars. We know Charlie feels unloved and unloveable because of her scars. And yet the thing she keeps so dear, so close to her is her “tender kit” the small safety blanket (shards of glass, gauze and ointment) that she uses to drain the pain from inside. Her tender kit is her comfort because people are unreliable. People hurt. Cutting transfers that pain for a brief swell of moments. There is the person people see on the outside and there is the person on the inside and then, even farther down, is that other, buried person, a naked and silent creature, not used to light.” In this story, the main character is a young girl named Tiger. She’s just sixteen years old and is like any other girl her age. When it comes to her life, she’s always been close with her mother. She’s been her entire world for some time now. But things are starting to change slowly as she continues to grow up.
