Girl in Pieces

“Girl in Pieces" by Kathleen Glasgow is a heartbreaking novel about a young girl in a difficult and unfair situation. But it is also a story full of hope. 

“Girl in Pieces” is about Charlie Davis, a broken girl, a girl in pieces. She is only 17 years old but she has already lost more in her short life than most people do in a lifetime. 

Broken glass calms her down, it takes away the mental pain for a while. When cutting she forgets. She forgets her best friend, her father and the river and her mother who is just as broken and has nothing left to give. All of it hurts too much and every new scar makes Charlie a little more resistant.

When Charlie’s insurance runs out, she is kicked out of her treatment center. When life looks more hopeless than ever, Charlie starts her journey to put the broken pieces of herself back together. 

With “Girl in Pieces” Kathleen Glasgow has written a New York Times bestseller and a Target Book Club pick. Kathleen Glasgow is also the author behind “You’d be Home Now” and “How to make Friends with the Dark”.
