Emotional read that couldn’t be put down

This book was a deeply emotional book that I could not put down. I havent been able to find a book that I finished quickly due to how well it was written. “Girl In Pieces” was that book. I finished it in less than a week and was reading it nonstop. I highly recommend this book to someone who is prepared to read about hard topics and most likely cry on page 31 of this book. Absolutely loved it!

CONFUSING IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE

Every time I read a book about recovery, it’s always the same thing. I love how Charlotte was able to display her recovery process in such a realistic way that isn’t often portrayed. I’m also happy that she was able to prioritize herself over a boy.

Well written but should carry a warning

This book is dark. My 13 year old granddaughter thought she wanted to read it but something about the cover gave me the willies so I thought I would read it first. I'm glad I did. It's about an older teenage girl who is into self harm. She's in a group home or hospital with others of a similar mindset and the reader gets to meet all of them. I recommended to my granddaughter and to her parents that she not read this book. At least not until she's much older. It goes into detail about how these girls hurt themselves and that's not really something for a young teen to be thinking about. They hav
