I’m just in pain. This book will leave you in pure agonizing pain, but it’s so worth it.
I was completely caught by this book. Kathleen Glasgow never fails to amaze me with her writing. I’ve been putting the book off for a very long time, since it’s a rough topic, and oh my was it a roller coaster of emotions!
I had to put down the book several times and just cry it out before I could pick up the book again and continue reading. It’s so heartbreaking and so real.
Once I was done I just lied there for a good ten minutes, feeling almost empty. Oh how this book brought out my feelings in a way no book ever has.
It’s such a real topic and a very real book that will make you cry, gasp and hope, honestly there might be some screaming of frustration too. But that’s how a book is supposed to be!
Such an amazing book and story.

Now 7 years later I started this one wondering maybe I was fascinated by the first book way too much since I had different standards.
I was wrong. It took me a day to finish this one. The writing style is beautiful and makes you see from the eyes of the main character and feel her every emotion.
I think it must be a hard task to keep the reader hooked when you’re writing about such a challenging subject and miss. Glasgow did pretty well.
One thing that I love both about You’d be home now and Girl in pieces, is that the ending is not like a fairy tail. It’s realistic. It’s not necessary sad but it’s not hero-ish either. The characters make mistakes, the mistakes you think that are gonna mess them up even more and it happens but you’ll learn it’s ok. I suggest this to anyone who feels like they’re facing a deadend. There are triggers and tears, even with that, I felt I’d be fine to panic a little.
Definitely a favorite!
