Girl in Pieces

A really hard read, but very good. A lot of trigger warnings in this book and it did not hold back in showing a very real and raw portrait of Charlie struggling, but that was no bad thing.

I liked the structure of the book very much, and felt the characters were full of emotion and personality. It was a very intense read, due to the subjects it covered, but I didn't feel it was too much. However I took a short break away for a few days as I needed to catch my breath before the end, then it immediately made me cry in the last 100 pages or so as I felt for Charlie so much, and all the characters by that point too.

Reading the author's note was important and interesting as well. I'll definitely pick up her other books and also return to ‘Girl, Interrupted' again as I started it earlier this year and reading this makes me want to finish it.
