If you've read Girl in Pieces or How to Make Friends with the Dark, you know the depth and emotion of Kathleen Glasgow's stories. Kathleen has the distinct ability to wrap each word in emotion and care. This story is not only a beautiful and heartbreaking portrayal of loving someone who is struggling with addiction, but it also depicts the isolation and loneliness of being a teenager in the world, the struggle to be heard, seen, and understood by adults. Emory is a brilliant narrator, and the cast of characters is so well-developed throughout the story. I am absolutely in awe of Kathleen Glasgow's writing.
