The style of writing needs some digestion for me. I was quite confused for a little bit at the beginning, but then I got used to it. The writing often flashes back to memories of Charlotte and her friends randomly.
It starts with a very short chapter, one page per chapter. Sometimes, the chapter consumes only half of a page. That's where I got interested in reading this. A brilliant way of catching attention.
The author potrayed a depressed girl quite vividly and painfully. She describes how toxic, how dark, or how pleasant Charlotte's surroundings are at the moment. What Charlotte feels as a cutter, as a teenager who is lonely, and what she feels as being a healer/sucker to herself.

I admit that there is pain in Girl In Pieces, as there are depression people who are the cutters (or not) and who try to adapt to 'normal' living/adult living. Its hard, you know? When you know nothing about the world except pain, torture, being homeless, hopeless, and feeling isolated.

Most of the time, a wrong decision is a lesson. It will keep improvising who you are going to be. Who are you without knowing yourself? Without feeling yourself? Or without being yourself?
Now, I hold this book with a special heavy feeling in my heart and also touch it with empathy.
Now, I know why this is my friend's favourite book, and I am grateful to her for letting go of her favourite book to me. I know it is hard to let go of something.
