After reading You’d Be Home Now, I knew this was going to be just as good. Turned out it was better. This book was devastatingly beautiful. The characters were full of flaws, some more than others, every person just trying to stay alive the best they could. It was raw and reflective of so many people’s experiences. Beautifully written.

Speechless. I couldn't put it down. Charlie's story is one that everyone shall read, regardless of the age. She is a strong soul with a shield full of scars. She found her voice, her inner strength, regardless of the fact that everything in her life couldn't go worse.
I cried, I smiled, I even related to Charlie in some ways, especially when she was describing how lonely she felt. I am so glad I picked this book up and I will never stop recommending it. Charlie's voice has to be spread everywhere. Girl in Pieces is truly a heart warming and empowering book which proves that no matter how hard life gets, even if you're in the darkest spot, you can always return to light because there is a strength in everyone bigger than anything else. You just have to be brave enough to find it!

P.S. If you read this book, don't skip the author's note.
