Very focused on self harm and drug use, do not read if struggling with these. It could be very triggering.

This book took longer for me to read but because it was such a heavy topic. This is an intense contemporary book about the struggles with self-harm. The writing itself reminds me of a diary entry which is relevant to a few characters who would express themselves through journaling/writing. 

A book about survival and the danger of hope

Picked this book up without really knowing what it was about and was pleasently surprised. The twists and turns from the treatment center to living out in the world for Charlotte. Great writing, and couldn't put it down.
