ik ben heel dankbaar dat ik dit recensie-exemplaar heb mogen ontvangen van Blossom Books, nogmaals bedankt! 

‼️ Een waarschuwing voor toekomstige lezers: Dit boek bespreekt thema’s als zelf beschadiging, seksueel misbruik, een age-gap relatie tussen een minderjarige en een volwassene en problemen rondom mentale gezondheid. Neem alsjeblieft de trigger warnings door voordat je dit boek leest als jij hier gevoelig voor bent ‼️

Girl in pieces gaat over Charlie Davis die op 17-jarige leeftijd al meer heeft meegemaakt dan de meeste mensen in heel hun leven meemaken. In dit boek volgen wij Charlie haar weg naar herstel en dat gaat natuurlijk komen daar verschillende tegenslagen en moeizaamheden bij kijken.

Het verhaal is heel toegankelijk geschreven en leest snel weg. Door de korte hoofdstukken wordt je snel het boek in getrokken en is het lastig weg te leggen. Girl in pieces zet een heel mooi, rauw en echt portret neer van de weg naar herstel. Het laat de lezer weten hoe makkelijk je terug kan vallen. Hoe belangrijk een support-systeem is. En hoe het grootste gedeelte van het herstel uiteindelijk op jezelf aan komt.

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