#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER"A haunting, beautiful, and necessary book."—Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At seventeen 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. And don’t miss Kathleen Glasgow's novels You’d Be Home Now and How to Make Friends with the Dark, both raw and powerful stories of life.

"Some parts were hard, but I loved the story of Charlie Davis.. some people have it so hard and so many can relate to this story. It’s a really great book in my opinion and I’m so happy with where everyone, or mostly everyone ends up in the end. "

"I thought that this was an extremely powerful books that tackled so many issues. The emotions were very raw seeing someone who was utterly hopeless changing into hopeful. However, the writing of the book threw me off and took me a while to get into"

"This book omg. One of the most crushing novels I have ever read, and it did such a good job. The topic is difficult, and at times I would have to stop reading because of that, but it was beautiful. 100% recommend for struggling teens and young adults."
