Cut by Patricia McCormick

3.0

I would have given this book 2 stars but I liked some of the side characters more than the main one. Callie seemed like just an idea of a character instead a fully realized one. She was just the representation of what a character who had this issue might be like without adding any depth to her. There was a lot of potential with her character but she never showed any real emotion. There was never a hint than anything deeper was happening under the surface. Her parents are shitty, her brother is chronically sick and she cuts herself. That’s it. No delving into the nitty gritty of what those things could do to the psyche of a person, just general facts about her family. There were a few glimpses of the potential his book had (when she was describing when she was home alone and her brother had his first asthma attack) but I wanted so much more from that. It was ok. Not great. I wouldn’t be surprised of people who actually cut themselves found this book very irritating.
