Girl in Pieces

De: Kathleen Glasgow

Narrado por: Julia Whelan, Kathleen Glasgow

Georgia Peach Book Award

For fans of Girl, Interrupted, Thirteen Reasons Why, and All the Bright Places comes a novel Nicola Yoon, author of Everything, Everything, calls "a haunting, beautiful, and necessary book that will stay with you long after you've read the last page".

Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At 17 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.

Includes an author's note read by the author.

"Equal parts keen-eyed empathy, stark candor, and terrible beauty. This book is why we read stories: to experience what it's like to survive the unsurvivable; to find light in the darkest night." (Jeff Zentner, author of The Serpent King)

"Raw, visceral, and starkly beautiful, with writing that is at times transcendent in its brilliance.... An unforgettable story of trauma and resilience." (Kerry Kletter, author of The First Time She Drowned)

"A breathtakingly written book about pain and hard-won healing.... I want every girl to read Girl in Pieces." (Kara Thomas, author of The Darkest Corners)

“A Girl, Interrupted for a new generation.... The story of the mad girl is ultimately a story about being a girl in a mad world, how it breaks us into pieces and how we glue ourselves back together." (Melissa Febos, author of Whip Smart and Abandon Me)

“Dark, frank, and tender, Girl in Pieces keeps the reader electrified for its entire journey. You’re so uncertain if Charlie will heal, so fully immersed in hoping she does.” (Michelle Wildgen, author of Bread and Butter and You’re Not You)

"Girl in Pieces has the breath of life; every character in it is fully alive. Charlie Davis' complexities are drawn with great understanding and subtlety." (Charles Baxter, author of National Book Award finalist The Feast of Love)

I loved it

holy cow I loved this book, it takes about what young people or older go through in everyday struggles what's it like to face challenges and how to over come them

Well written, however a lot of F bombs.

Great story, although depressing at times. Tough content, but worth the read. Good character development.

Great narrator

Julie is the best narrator. So soothing to listen to even in a dark subject matter

Trigger warning! But still amazing!!

This book was incredible. I couldn’t stop listening to it, I was late to work because I just couldn’t turn it off. I self harm and this book was a bit of a trigger for me but I still absolutely loved it. I’ve never heard self harm explained so perfectly before. Most of the time when people ask me I just said that I can’t explain it... from now on I’ll guide them to this book. Thank you Kathleen for creating something so relatable and also inspiring.

Great story, writing and Narration!!

I really enjoyed this audiobook. It was one of those aware of the story, or near ration in the rain all came together in a magical way.

A True, Blue Page-Turner

I could not stop reading this book. The story line is impeccable and the characters are addictive. I felt as if I knew these people and could really relate to the main character. This book is a must read for all of those facing a not-so-perfect life.
