Stayed up until after midnight to finish this one. Kathleen Glasgow has written a story about Charlie Davis, a girl who went through a painful experience and resort to self harm. Girl In Pieces is the story of Charlie's journey to try to heal and put her broken pieces back together whilst meeting new people along the way. I honestly have no idea what to write about this book, other than it is a beautiful and haunting debut. The writing was incredible, drew me instantly. Some parts felt a bit intense for me to read, since I could relate to Charlie at certain times. The ending had me in tears, and after reading the author's note I am outright an emotional mess at 12.30ish am on a weekday night. Be cautious when reading this book, since it portrays self harm candidly.

Beautifully written and surprisingly uplifting. It hit me right in the heart, and I know I'll be carrying Charlie's story with me for a long time.
