the feelings I’ve had and still carry from just a couple of years ago.<br />I didn’t expect this book to affect me so strongly or make me feel so understood.<br />Reading it felt like someone had put words to things I was never able to say out loud.<br />The characters are beautifully written and felt incredibly real to me. I loved how layered and human they all were.<br />The writing is fluid and accessible, even when the story itself is heavy and painful.<br />It wasn’t always easy to read emotionally, but I’m so glad I did.<br />In a way, this book helped me grieve a part of my past.<br />It made me feel seen, and lighter.<br />It’s now my favorite book.<br />

Summary
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "A haunting, beautiful, and necessary book."—Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything 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. 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. A deeply moving portrait of a girl in a world that owes her nothing, and has taken so much, and the journey she undergoes to put herself back together. Kathleen Glasgow's debut is heartbreakingly real and unflinchingly honest. It’s a story you won’t be able to look away from. And don’t miss Kathleen Glasgow's novels You’d Be Home Now and How to Make Friends with the Dark, both raw and powerful stories of life.
