Narrative Supposing Books Girl in Pieces

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. 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.

The first thing that gripped me about this book was the writing. Glasgows style is so thick with emotion and yet sparse on the page. In places, it reads like poetry. I was immediately drawn in by Glasgows words, the books atmospheric setting. Then there was the characters struggle with her sense of self, her mistrust of others. Charlies pain was so pervasive that it felt like layers of gauze being stripped away from a wound. Layer after layer we see what and who has hurt Charlie. Glasgow is an

Girl in Pieces doesnt let you tip toe into the shallow end, give you a trigger warning, or pretend. It high dives into the deep end without warning or preparation. From the first line you will be hooked and also extremely trepidatious. Charlie is experiencing lifes worst qualities. She cant seem to grasp onto anything sturdy and she is terrified. Her coping mechanism is self-harm. If you are looking for a book with a happy ever after or lesson learned feeling, this isnt going to be your swag.

2 1/2 stars. An extra 1/2 star because I think a lot of readers will love this - it's just a certain type of storytelling that always leaves me cold.The many fans of Ellen Hopkins should love this book. It's a dark contemporary dealing with self-harm and it's written in a mostly fragmented series of one/few paragraph chapters (sometimes they are longer). Glasgow is not afraid to go there and covers a whole range of topics, from cutting to abuse to suicide.Firstly, I didn't like the writing.

This was an okay read. Not really something that I would normally reach for, but Im not mad that I read it. I will say that I had an EXTREMELY hard time getting into the beginning of this, but once the main character moved cities things really started holding my attention and I ended up enjoying it in the end.Also: I read this for MissSassyKassies book club for February! The live show will be on Sunday 3/4 at 1pm PST on her channel!

4,5* - I'm normally very easily annoyed by characters who pity themselves all the time. But this wasn't the case with Charlie and I can't really explain why. It didn't really feel forced but natural and understandable how she felt and acted. I pretty much liked everything about this book except for the ending. It was overdone and extremely unrealistic.I would totally recommend this to everyone who is interested in topics like self harm and mental illnesses. ( So obviously, trigger warning for

Haunting and heartbreaking but so very beautiful. From Kathleen's author's note: "and sometimes the dark can get pretty dark, but it's filled with people who understand." Full review soon.

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
