Kathleen Glasgow illuminates not only the anxiety of youth but the vulnerability and terror of life in

Caution: Trigger Warnings: self harm, suicide, drug use, abuse: rated R for language and other adult content. Charlie, who’d made bad decisions, made mistakes, who’d had terrible things happen to her. But she kept on going, even when she almost gave up, fighting her way through this world.

as someone who struggles who self harm, i found this soo relatable but also so eye-opening at the same time. Charlotte Davis is not your average teenager. She practices self harm in the form of cutting. Glasgow gives us an intimate look into the life of this lonely and distraught teenager who is torn to pieces in more ways than one. I am eighteen years old, and I have struggled with mental health and self-harm for many years. This book is very real. I wrote the story of Charlie Davis for the cutters and the burners and the kids on the street who have nowhere safe to sleep. I wrote the story of Charlie Davis for their mothers and fathers and for their friends.

They enter a little situation for her to teach him everything she knows about BDSM. It’s more on the novella length side. Nate struggles with OCD, so they both find reprieve. It’s taboo because it’s student-teacher and age gap love. Evelyn goes to therapy, and we see a little bit of her therapy and then take Nate. There is some false advertising that I didn’t like. But I love therapy scenes and how Nate’s OCD was portrayed in this next step. A similar main theme between Girl In Pieces and this book is the healing process.

After a little bit of stupidity I like the way the ending happened and felt like things were finally looking up for Charlie, which she needed so badly. Years ago, I didn't want to write the story of my scars, or the story of being a girl with scars, because it is hard enough being a girl in the world, but try being a girl with scars on your skin in the world. You are not alone. Charlie Davis's story is the story of over two million young women in the United States. And those young women will grow up, like I did, bearing the truth of our past on our bodies.

Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At seventeen she’s already lost more than most people lose 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. Charlie went through so much in this book, that I just wanted to hold her, and tell her everything’s going to be alright. And you know what makes me super mad? If a guy has scars, it’s like some heroic shit show or something. But women? We’re just creepy freaks.” On September 5, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio to give them some bad news: They’re going to die today.Her body tells her story, and shows us the human eye that she's so so so strong for still standing up and not giving up on herself. Sixteen is a time where you try to define yourself as a person. But now that Tiger is sixteen she’s finding that her mother has a ton of control over her. When it comes to her mother handling just about everything in her life, Tiger’s finding it to be suffocating in nature. She’s doing the best that she can to try and put up with it, but sometimes she just wants to be an individual and not have her mom running her life like a CEO or something. 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. Pip gets involved and has to try to solve the case. While her true-crime podcast is going viral, and people everywhere know who she is. There’s also the fact that I don’t think the true crime case was as enjoyable. It’s because in the first book, Pip is solving a case that has already been closed, and the police think it’s all fixed. But that’s not what happened. The case is much more emotional and closer to home for Pip, especially because the so-called murderer’s brother is also involved with Pip. They become friends to lovers.

I personally think this book should come with a gigantic trigger warning. But I guess if the cover and title doesn't do that in itself then you're just fooling yourself. Although this book was very well written and obviously carefully thought out, I think that it was a bit too long for the subject matter. It got very tedious and boring in the second half. Raw, visceral, and starkly beautiful, with writing that is at times transcendent in its brilliance, Girl 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.I think one of the many factors that inspired me to stay clean was this book. I related to the character so much and her experience was so painful, but beautiful. I remember when my mother made me wear long sleeves so that nobody could see what was hiding beneath. it was painful, really painful. And not the cutting, but what came after The. guilt, the shame, having to see the look of happiness disappear from my parent's faces. I remember I would cry in the bathroom. I cut myself because i thought I deserved it. because i said things that made people uncomfortable. Because I finally was myself around them and didn't realize that i had to be quiet. Although this book tells a story of people being cruel to themselves, it is a book about being gentle with yourself. It seems odd to call this novel kind, as it was often a savage read (it is unflinching in its portrayal of self-harm, homelessness, addiction, and desperation) but it has such a sweet heart, such a piercing desire for its characters to improve themselves in every way, that hope persists in even the darkest moments. Glasgow's use of adult characters to challenge, support, and mirror the teen characters is genuinely inspired, and the resulting fictional neighborhood dynamic felt intensely real. In general, the characters are wonderfully drawn, and although this novel is nothing like Code Name Verity, I think I might recommend it to folks who enjoyed that one. Girl in Pieces prioritizes characters and their complicated truths in a similar way. I'd probably recommend this one for older teens and adults who read YA, not because I believe in shielding kids from content, but because the characters in this novel make nuanced and morally gray decisions that might render them unlikable to a less experienced soul. I know I would have judged the narrator more harshly at 13 than at 18, and that would have been a shame. That’s what a lot of these books have in common. Some of them are a little heavier, and some of them are a little lighter. Before diving into any of these, please look up triggers that you’re reading and researching on your own. Let’s discuss 7 books similar to Girl In Pieces. Name 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.” 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".
