About this deal

This book was very personal for me. It triggered a lot of emotion and memory out of me. Without going into too much detail, I can relate very much to the protagonist in this book. But I think we all can in our own ways if we can remember what it's like to be a teenager and even imagine what it's like to be a teenager in Charlotte's life. As well as this, there are some sentence/wording choices that are not to my tastes. Sometimes it is reminiscent of We Were Liars - which I know will be a big selling point for many readers - but that book also irritated me. I find myself becoming detached when I read nouns used as adjectives, and phrases like: "My eyes are fierce with water."

It is hard to think of Charlie as a character, she seems more like a friend or someone you know in your life. Nothing about reading this book is easy, it is triggering, it talks about physical abuse and violence, drug abuse, alcoholism, self-harm, suicide, homelessness and other hard topics.if you suffered from a tiny bit of mental health issues, which i believe every person did, you can find a piece of yourself in charlie. even though she is still searching for her missing ones. Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At seventeen she's already lost more than most people do in a lifetime. But she's learned how to forget. The broken glass 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. this book has a big potential being a four star read for me, but i felt like there were so many thing didn’t reached to a conclusion. it felt like it’s unfinished, and there is no other book so it makes me think about what charlie did after that ending and if she found piece and a home she can feel safe. also i feel like events didn’t explained so well and i still have questions about so many things. I let that girl get off the bus without saying a word. And I shouldn't have. I should have let her know that even mired in the very depths of herself, she wasn't alone.

That’s what a lot of these books have in common. Some of them are a little heavier, and some of them are a little lighter. Before diving into any of these, please look up triggers that you’re reading and researching on your own. Let’s discuss 7 books similar to Girl In Pieces. NameI'm normally very easily annoyed by characters who pity themselves all the time. But this wasn't the case with Charlie and I can't really explain why. It didn't really feel forced but natural and understandable how she felt and acted. I am eighteen years old, and I have struggled with mental health and self-harm for many years. This book is very real. Raw, visceral, and starkly beautiful, with writing that is at times transcendent in its brilliance, Girl
