Summary
Charlotte Davis is in pieces。 At seventeen she’s already lost more than most people lose in a lifetime。 But she’s learned how to forget。 The thick glass of a mason jar cuts deep， and the pain washes away the sorrow until there is nothing but calm。 You don’t have to think about your father and the river。 Your best friend， who is gone forever。 Or your mother， who has nothing left to give you。
Every new scar hardens Charlie’s heart just a little more， yet it still hurts so much。 It hurts enough to not care anymore， which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge。

I have been this girl in many different ways on many different days。 I’ve never self-mutilated， but I’ve hurt myself in other ways。 Her pain is so deep that I want to love her all the more， and I root for her all the way until the last word。

I was hoping it would be a little better。 This just felt very shallow and depressing。 I would have loved to see more depth and interest in the plot but it felt very one dimensional and just didn’t reach my heart。 This may just be me though。

This was an insightful story。 I， myself， have not suffered from self-harm， but I have barely made it through many thoughts of doing it。 I have suffered from depression， and still do， sometimes very much。 I'm not going to lie， when I was younger， I used to see self-harming as disgusting and didn't understand why you would want to have those marks in your skin。 But now， I understand it。 I know what it is like to be broken， to feel irreparable。 I think stories like this are important and necessary。 This was an insightful story。 I， myself， have not suffered from self-harm， but I have barely made it through many thoughts of doing it。 I have suffered from depression， and still do， sometimes very much。 I'm not going to lie， when I was younger， I used to see self-harming as disgusting and didn't understand why you would want to have those marks in your skin。 But now， I understand it。 I know what it is like to be broken， to feel irreparable。 I think stories like this are important and necessary。 I loved Charlie's character growth and development。 I was so happy for her in the end。 She finally found herself after being lost for so long。 Riley was definitely broken too， very broken。 I'm glad that he got the help he needed。 Though it may take some time， I hope that they no longer feel so broken。 I hope I do too。 。。。more

I found so much comfort while reading this book because of how much I relate to the main character even though I haven’t even went half of the things she went through。It was a frustrating read too at the same time cause it was like watching your best friend choosing the wrong decisions and falling apart but you can’t do anything about it and I completely understood the mental state she was in。 Such a beautifully written book :3

I can not tell you how much I loved this book。 I’ve liturally just finished it now。 There is so much emotion， it’s such a heavy heavy book and I could not put it down。 My heart for Charlie is just 😩TRIGGER WARNING; Selfharm， drug use， abuse & suicide。

This book was truly incredible。 It touched me in a place that’s hard to reach。 It shows so much depth and growth。 It made me feel heard。 Amazing。

Gorgeous！ yet， I’m still wondering why’d take me to long to get through it？I felt the characters were introduced weirdly and I didn’t fully know who they， so that was confusing at first impression。 Other than that， I really liked it！ and I’m glad a topic like self-harming was being discussed。 Made me think a lot about life in general。 I’d recommend it！

this book give such a strong story about this strong girl who’s going through a dark place in her life。 i feel this book gives a good lesson， but trigger warning for those of you who suffer from depression/anxiety （story does include self harm， ect。） it’s a good book if you wanna be in someone else’s shoes🙌。

I would never have read this book if it wasn't for a friend who recommended it to me， and I was apprehensive at first because it is not my usual genre but this book touched my heart in places that I will never forget。 Typically I find that books about self-harm and mental health are unrealistic and come off as scripted but there no not one part of this that didn't feel real。 The main character Charlie， I have never related to a character more before。 As surreal as this sounds I felt like I was i I would never have read this book if it wasn't for a friend who recommended it to me， and I was apprehensive at first because it is not my usual genre but this book touched my heart in places that I will never forget。 Typically I find that books about self-harm and mental health are unrealistic and come off as scripted but there no not one part of this that didn't feel real。 The main character Charlie， I have never related to a character more before。 As surreal as this sounds I felt like I was in the book with her。After I finished I just had to sit there with the book clutched to my chest for a couple of minutes， I couldn't believe that I had just read that and I needed a few moments to understand that I wasn't alone。 。。。more

Charlie Davies， 17-year old who survived a suicide attempt， whose father killed himself， whose best friend almost dead， and whose mother hits her and also been abandoned， a victim of sexual abused。 Being tragically damaged brought her into meeting girls like her and Casper their Doctor， but she was then released and headed to her friend Mike at Tucson， Arizona where she meets significant people in her life especially Riley who utterly made her life more upside-down。A story of darkness， pain， add Charlie Davies， 17-year old who survived a suicide attempt， whose father killed himself， whose best friend almost dead， and whose mother hits her and also been abandoned， a victim of sexual abused。 Being tragically damaged brought her into meeting girls like her and Casper their Doctor， but she was then released and headed to her friend Mike at Tucson， Arizona where she meets significant people in her life especially Riley who utterly made her life more upside-down。A story of darkness， pain， addiction， self-harm， of people， of sobbing damaged girls， a journey to healing with the power of art。It feels heavy to read this book。 All the cutting， addiction， thought of self-harm and sexual abuse， violence， the echo of disappointments， the toxicity of people around。It lingers like you happen to own them as you sank into its world， but it's not what Glasgow wants to happen， she wants to reach us， she wants to tell something， she’s giving us the chance to feel how to be someone who’s broken and what do we do about it？ Charlotte was someone anyone can relate to。 She was a catastrophe， she attracts tragedy， and she lives with it。 She's bare， naked， you can see her through words， you can feel her pain， her self-angst， and she was made of storm greedy for floods of trouble。 I felt crying， it’s sore。 I felt the sadness and the darkness of Charlie; I just couldn't put it into tears。 I felt insanely hurt about her idea of escaping and comfort， it’s painful。 I was expecting a healing journey from her but it was getting worse， I figured out that sometimes healing is a choice， and it always takes time。 Sometimes healing is about places， the people you meet。 How you see yourself， how you want to be， how free you want to be， how much peace your mind wants？ But it could go wrong， if you are greedy of things that are bad for you， that won't help heal you， but you still want it， you crave for it because it makes you float in the vast of quietness， liberation and space。 You will feel it that way， if you think it saves you when it just makes you bleed you a lot。 Kathleen Glasgow will make you feel the brokenness of someone; it holds a deep message for everyone suffering on their own， and it’s a reminder that no one is alone。 Healing will always be a long process just like learning to love yourself， and accepting that life can still be beautiful no matter how damaged， pointless and colorless may it seems。 Girl in Pieces is a piece of puzzle that should be read in order to make something whole。 This book tackles more than just a self-harm but the reality of healing。 。。。more

Wow！ So incredibly sad。 Spent so much time worried for Charlie， rooting for her to pull through。 She suffered through so much。 This book is Luke Evans free but I don’t mind。

Great book for mental health awareness

a slow start for me， but it was a book for me that left me in mixed feelings at the end but in a good way。 Relatable in a way that she explains her feelings about herself and the world， but definitely not a book for everyone。 It’s a book about the real world that no one talks about。

Heartbreaking， Yet Beautiful！This book was so incredibly sad and heartbreaking， but it also was a beautiful account of a girl deep in the grip of self-harming behaviors。 I loved her story， her fight， and eventually her redemption。 It was stunning in its honesty。 I loved this book！ Thanks to Amazon First Reads for this wonderful story！
