Summary:
For fans of Girl, Interrupted, Thirteen Reasons Why, and All of the Bright Places comes a novel Nicola Yoon, author of Everything, Everything, phone calls ‘a haunting, beautiful, and necessary publication that will stay with you lengthy after you’ve browse the last page.’
Charlotte Davis is within parts. At seventeen she’s already lost more than most people perform in an eternity. But she’s learned how to neglect. The broken glass washes away the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. You don’t need to about Woman in Pieces think about your father as well as the river. Your very best friend, who’s gone permanently. Or your mother, who has nothing at all left to offer.
Every new scar tissue hardens Charlie’s heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much. It hurts more than enough to not caution anymore, which may also be what must happen before you can stay on course back from your edge.
A deeply shifting portrait of a girl in a world that owes her nothing, and has taken so much, as well as the journey she undergoes to put herself back together. Kathleen Glasgow’s debut can be heartbreakingly real and unflinchingly honest. It’s a tale you won’t have the ability to look away from.
