Ok itâs now over two months since Iâve finished this book and itâs yet to leave my head. I havenât stopped thinking or loving this book since I picked it up. I feel so much love and care for these characters and just want to cherish them. It was so raw and emotional and there is one scene towards the end of the book that I cannot stop thinking about . It was incredible. My favourite book of all time. It is indescribable how much I love this book. Read it right now!!!

Now 7 years later I started this one wondering maybe I was fascinated by the first book way too much since I had different standards.
I was wrong. It took me a day to finish this one. The writing style is beautiful and makes you see from the eyes of the main character and feel her every emotion.
I think it must be a hard task to keep the reader hooked when youâre writing about such a challenging subject and miss. Glasgow did pretty well.Â
One thing that I love both about Youâd be home now and Girl in pieces, is that the ending is not like a fairy tail. Itâs realistic. Itâs not necessary sad but itâs not hero-ish either. The characters make mistakes, the mistakes you think that are gonna mess them up even more and it happens but youâll learn itâs ok. I suggest this to anyone who feels like theyâre facing a deadend. There are triggers and tears, even with that, I felt Iâd be fine to panic a little.
Definitely a favorite!
