Girl in Pieces by Kathleen Glasgow

emma_119's review

Warning slight spoilers. I did not finish this book because of the slow plot.  I absolutely loved around the first 100 pages of her in the mental hospital you could really understand how she felt it. It felt like the best poem I’ve ever read until she left the hospital. Once she left the hospital it got very repetitive explaining why she didn’t want to take a shower about 100 times I also couldn’t relate on a personal level so that could also effect how I felt about it. They also sort of include deep explanation of self harm, family trauma, family death, friends trama, suicidal thoughts, sexual abuse and mention of drugs, smoking, and  alcohol. I was reading it with a friend we highlighted and talked about it but it wasn’t very clear or good after she left the hospital. But I would recommend reading the first 100 pages because it was really good if the author just left it there it would have been much better even without the clear thorough ending.

It is dark but ends well and is something you might yell at the characters at at times but is really good
