“WILL STAY WITH YOU LONG AFTER YOU'VE READ THE LAST PAGE”
- Nicola Yoon, #1 NYT bestselling author of Everything, Everything

You can spot the girls who will have it easy. I don't even have to describe them for you.

You can spot the girls who will get by on smarts. You can spot the girls who will get by because they're tough, or athletic.

And then there's me.

Kathleen Glasgow's Girl in Pieces is a deeply moving and unflinchingly honest account of a young girl named Charlie Davis, who finds herself navigating the harrowing aftermath of a life marred by trauma and self-destruction. Charlie's world has been one of pain, loss, and unrelenting struggle. When she finds herself at rock bottom, she must embark on a perilous journey towards healing and self-discovery. As she grapples with her past and tries to forge a new path, Charlie learns that rebuilding yourself is both a brutal and beautiful process.

This unforgettable novel presents a vivid depiction of mental health, emotional resilience, and the road to recovery, resonating deeply with readers of all ages. Glasgow's poignant prose and stark realism bring Charlie's world to life, making it impossible to look away from her story. Readers will become deeply invested in her fate and root for her as she struggles to find some semblance of peace and a sense of belonging in a world that has given her nothing.

Girl in Pieces is heralded as a modern-day Girl, Interrupted and has captivated audiences, becoming a New York Times bestseller. With over 50,000 ratings on Goodreads, it maintains a remarkable 95% approval rating, affirming its status as a beloved novel among readers.
