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

I can't believe this book as been sitting on my shelf for so long, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. I can't recommend this book enough to every single person I meet, because honestly it would takes a thousand years to give you all my thought on this book.

But it's just so well written and heart retching that I think half my thoughts on this book would just be tears and sobs. 

I would also like to say while this book does not go into very graphic detail of certain things mentioned in the content warnings I still warn you it's better to be safe then sorry. And just not risk reading or even listening to this book if you think you could be heavily triggered by anything in this book.

Charlie a nineteen year old has a messed up childhood. Her father died by jumping in a lake and her mother who loved her father dearly went insane and started beating Charlie as well as because of all this Charlie became secretive and reclusive to share her sadness with anyone. She was often bullied at school which made her develop habit of self harming. Self harm became her solace and after drawing these lines her pain went away for sometime. She started distracting herself by drawing and cutting up her skin. The story starts with Charlie being in a hospital where she is barely conscious. She wakes up in a dorm which not only looks depressing but is actually filled with survivors of self harm. It is a safe place but why did she end up there? Who was he who Charlie is afraid of? How did she find her way out of all the thoughts? Or does she end up repeating everything again?  Who were those people who helped her overcome hurdles and clear the dark cloud of confusion?

Oh my god!!! When I first read the synopsis I thought it was about a 17 year old girl finding her self. And it is that it is waaay more then they this book is very very heavy. It made me cry more then one time. I’m not upset about the way it ended per say but I’m also not thrilled. 1st off Riley is such a terrible person and I hate that he took advantage of Charlie’s mental state. But I’m glad he got better in the end. 2nd when Casper told Charlie that she was getting out of the mental institution I was like WHAT?!?! As the reader I could tell she wasn’t ready to leave yet but I know it just made the book itself better. And my point is proven which everything she does up until trying to kill herself whenever Wendy destroys her apartment. At first I thought Blues was gonna be a bad influence in was right in the sense of her doing drugs again and being apart of 1 of the many reasons Charlie tried to kill herself. But also wrong because after all that happened Blue and her became family. Riley’s sister I forget her name I feel like she should have been waaay more attention to Riley then she was especially knowing his history. I’m a sister and I know I would have made sure my brother was mentally and physically okay with the back history that Riley has. I’m glad Riley finally became better but I think he needs to do more to earn Charlie’s forgiveness. And i think if he does do more to earn Charlie’s forgiveness Charlie still shouldn’t take him back. I loved this book I really did like I said I love when an author is so good at making a story in there head that it comes out on paper so good that they can make readers cry. That is so true and raw talent right 
there.


⚠️TRIGGER WARNING:⚠️ self harm such as cutting burning and pinching. Alcohol abuse. & Drug abuse. 

Overall i am going to be rating this book 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hope this helped🖤
