Girl in Pieces

alonaaa shared a tip "this is my favorite standalone book and it stuck with me so much and hit so deep. i can’t even explain it but the way it made me felt when immersed in the book and feeling like i was in that world.. like no other. it really inspired me and i might even go as far to say it changed my life in a way"

zaira_acosta shared a tip "Not going to lie, it is a major trigger reading this book, but I'm glad i read it anyway. I felt for the main character in this book. Its hard finding a purpose and a place you fit in this world. When you can't figure it out it's worse because then you end up like the main character- stuck in your head, making friends with the wrong people, doing things you're not proud of, etc. She was strong all along she just needed that support of just one person to push her to where she needed to be. I loved this book, and i hope to one day find people who love and support me like Charlie's friends loved and supported her."

ava_fuhs shared a tip "This book is my favorite book of all time. It’s absolutely, positively, ******* amazing. If you haven’t read it yet, I suggest you do."

hattie_patton shared a tip "It was incredible I sobbed at part of it but I loved it! Definitely very triggering so do your research and know your limitations ❤️"

sugarfree_ shared a tip "I love this book yk when u feel so connected to someone or something that u wanna claim it or them as your own , that's how much I love this book"

ale_a_2484 shared a tip "I love the story the topic they talk about just connected with me when I read the book I just felt that they were talking to me ❤️"

yamilet_florey shared a tip "I personally can relate and I love it and honestly I’m just glad someone suggested it to much love hope you can read it and enjoy it!"

stephanie_cosmicq. shared a tip "Literally this book is so well written, it puts you on an emotional rollercoaster you won't want to get off of. I didn't want this book to end."

Kyvie shared a tip "It was a. Very good boom it impacted me a lot cause I thought about cutting and I got help and now I'm a bit better but my mental is still a wreck."

rachael_4491 shared a tip "such a great book. So raw with emotion, and it really shows the in’s and outs of self harm. I loved it so much I read the entire thing overall in 2 days. Cant wait to check out more on this author"

kaitlyn_read_7309 shared a tip "Trigger warnings during this whole book - so read at your win risk. Suicide, self harm, statutory rape. The ending is so worth everything you read up until that point. The author really wrote the book to allow her readers to connect with each character. The ending, the final sentence, made me cry like a big baby. Would recommend if you need a book that will make you look at the world in a kinder way."

lindsey_ranz shared a tip "I found myself crying, laughing, catching my breath, have electricity go through my body and so much more. I have finally read in words exactly how I have felt at my highest, lowest and middle parts."

anna_delange shared a tip "Could be very triggering for people!! But this book is a book that gives you perspectives on a life you may never have understood. It is heavy but written so well. Kathleen did a good job setting the scene for the characters. It’s not a book for everyone but it is eye opening for the people that can!"

polina_gesquiere shared a tip "Yea ofc, This book made me feel so numb overall but the way she used the quote « Once you start your a scarred battle field and nobody like that on a girl » ( it was something like that)"

alicia_ortiz_6130 shared a tip "@harperbrownca thanks :) i actually just bought a book called Every Last Word and so far i’m loving it, i cant wait to find the time so i can finally finish it"

katie_gaynor shared a tip "honestly, I deeply relate with this book and I think the reason I like it so much is because I can see myself in it. 100000/10 book."

lauren_standifer shared a tip "This book will stay with me for the rest of my life. It's so raw, unfiltered, and emotional. It doesn't sugarcoat the struggles in charlie's life, and it doesn't feed the harsh truth to you on a silver spoon. I've never read a book quite like this one, and I don't think I ever will again. Every aspect of this book is '******* angelic' and you can tell it was a product of personal experiences, sweat, blood, and tears. If you're considering reading it, do it. I promise, it'll be worth it."

carrgi shared a tip "This book is heartbreakingly raw. I laughed and I cried, and then I cried again. To see a character that carried similar burdens and scars to my own. To see her fall, get back up and then fall again. The road to recovery is bumpy and cruel, and this book really shows the devastating truth of it all. Reading this was a vital part of my own journey of healing, but it is and can be very triggering. Please do your research, set your boundaries, and take care of yourself if you read <3"

emily-m shared a tip "This book is so real, I can relate to it so so much. I will say it has a bit of self harm gore that was a bit much to read but I will definitely be rereading this. The main character is so relatable, it’s really like the author was in my head"

rhi_1228 shared a tip "This book just freaking wrecked me. Oh my lord. You need to read this! It's beautifully written. There may be some triggers in this book, though, so maybe research it or something before reading!"

will_4877 shared a tip "i loved it! there are self harm and hospitalization mentions, so please make sure that you know your boundaries <3 overall very good book!"

felicity_staloch shared a tip "Ok I need help. I started reading this book and the way it’s written is very confusing. Just the way that the words cut off half way through every page, and the whole first person concept. Any advice?"

aaliyah00 shared a tip "This is one of my favorite books it was written so beautifully, it made me emotional and let me connect with Charlie’s (the main character) struggles. MAJOR TW (suicide, addiction, substance abuse, psych ward, etc) it was a bit too fast paced in my opinion but that didn’t ruin the book for me. 4.5/5 i definitely recommend this."

carla_nunez shared a tip "So authentic and relatable. This girl goes through so much and struggles with all of it. Yet, somehow, survives. That's what the book is about. Surviving."

katrina_w shared a tip "this book is absolutely beautiful and it’s my favorite book currently but I suggest reading the tw before reading the book because there is a lot of sensitive topics but overall a very good book but also sad👍"

emily_ward_7568 shared a tip "This book was amazing. But definitely could be a trigger for some. It was so well written. Nothing was dragged out, it kept me on my toes and interested the whole way through."

gabby_brezovsky shared a tip "This is probably the best book i’ve ever read. god, it is so incredibly heartbreaking and may be triggering for some (lots of SH descriptions). i really recommend this book and this author."

caybug921 shared a tip "I got this book from my school library and I swear it's the best book I've ever read. ⚠️TW⚠️ If you want to read this book, be warned there's alot of triggers in it especially for those with mental/physical illnesses. I finished it within a week and I was crying during multiple points in the book (and I don't normally cry reading books Soo) Great read, definitely recommend"

lily_ahrens shared a tip "@jayde_5691 i didn’t exactly have a favorite part of the book because it is a heart wrenching book. It is one of my favorites because it’s raw and real and it’s a life that many people can relate to. It’s the first book I’ve personally read that really went deep into the physiological effects of self harm and sexual assault. The main character of the book is a very strong person and when I felt like giving up, I honestly turned to this book for guidance. A reason to stay."

avalon_b shared a tip "I definitely think so, but beware that it can be triggering to some people because it goes through a lot of mental health issues. I loved it personally, it helped me a lot"

jenn_gunesgor shared a tip "one of my favorites. it tackles issues that aren't talked about often in ways only survivors could understand. the way the words describe it it amazing and I'd definitely read it again. (it does have profanity and dark quotes)"

jaden_petz shared a tip "I loved how real it felt. It didn’t feel fake it felt like this actually happened. And I’m sure it did. I love how the author wasn’t Afraid to just say and write what needed to be written. Definitely one of my favorites"

eva_garcia_8719 shared a tip "This book was definitely something I didn’t know I needed. Not only was it shocking and tragic, not to mention emotional it was very empowering and had an amazing ending."

livlively shared a tip "Maybe if I was younger and read this. Maybe if I was more of an outsider I would identify with it. It's a good book. I can see why my friend with the scars in her wrists likes it, but it's not something I'd read again."

girlboss1000 shared a tip "THIS BOOK HURT MY SOUL. literally ripped my heart out, stomped on it, and shoved it back into my heart. but omg written so beautifully. ending is so well thought out. had me in tears everytime i read it. 10/10 !!"

alyssarw shared a tip "One of my new favorite books for sure. It was a slow start and I was tempted to abandon it many time but once I was hooked, I was hooked. I just finished the book and I’m so sad because I miss the characters so much. The writing is absolutely amazing, not once was I ever disappointed. I love this book so much."

lauren_osborn_6167 shared a tip "No other reading portrays the mind of someone who self harms better than this one. Do not recommend for children under 18. This book was touching in so many directions."

brana_danyelle shared a tip "It was such a great book I love the authors writing I bought her other 2 books and already half way through the second book they are all similar but diffrent stories"

helena_polinsky shared a tip "i physically could not put this book down. it was such a good read. it can be triggering and may be a sensitive topic for some, but if you can, i suggest reading!"

marissa_tanner shared a tip "Honestly the best book I‘ve ever picked up. It was heart wrenching to put down. It leaves me thinking about it‘s words still. It put‘s what I‘ve been trying to say into words. Truly a masterpiece."

seren_ shared a tip "It took a while for me to read, but there’s so much recognition and character development, and you can really tell how observant the main character is. This book was an amazing experience, left me with my jaw dropped."

savannah_thorp shared a tip "It's a great book. Very much worth a read, but at times it can be triggering. Keep that in mind if wanting to read this. One thing I liked about this book is that all of the characters in it were incredibly complex, and their individual storyline and background is amazing. Kathleen Glasgow is an absolute genius."

leon_simmons shared a tip "Loved the book, I cried(I’m not a cryer at all). It has a very strong presence and tone to the book. I would not recommend this to brand new readers but I’d recommend it to moderate readers. It has some triggering parts and it’s very descriptive so please be very cautious to that."

vivian_johnson_6367 shared a tip "I cried, then got up and thought she was ok, then cried again! This book is amazing and explains trauma and depression, plus sh. This book really reaches to sensitive topics. 110% recommend!"

lnauren shared a tip "8/10 Good read, wouldnt recommend to get out of a rut or be spectacularly entertained but well written, wonderfully developed characters."

corrine_dupont shared a tip "this is definitely my favorite book. It was triggering at some parts and I had to put it down but that just makes the book so much better. Books that make me feel so sad or so scared that I need to take a break from it just proves that they have an amazing way with words and that they can tell a good story. This book really makes you feel something and if your not suffering from the things they talk about in the book (Self-Harm, Suicide, Depression etc.) it really makes you imagine what it’s like"
