It is such well written, from the point of view of an unstable teenage girl, that she seems so real she could jump out of the page at any time. I cam by this book while researching the self-harm topic for a book I am writing. I have never had contact with people with this problems, so I want to make sure I am sensible and realistic with the matter. This is a book of fiction, and the characters aren't real, but the issues treated here are. The feelings, the thinking the problems... my heart bled for Charlie, specially the first third of the book. Such beautiful book to give a voice to the people who have suffered or know someone who went through this. Or to the others like me, to understand the problem better. It must have been very hard to write this book, so I raise my hat to th writer, and I wish her that she is in a better place than she had been, and that finding your voice in any type of art, like writing, is one of the most beautiful things in the world. You are a great writer. Great with words. Better at transmitting feelings and make the readers feel them. Review: Such a great book but very detailed so some readers might find it upsetting - I’ve always hated reading and found every book boring and never seemed to remember what I read in the previous page, but this is different, I’ve genuinely never been so intrigued/engaged into a book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,758 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1 in Young Adult Fiction on Self-Harm 1 in Young Adult Nonfiction on Depression & Mental Health 1 in Young Adult Nonfiction on Self-Harm | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (9,936) | | Dimensions | 13 x 3.1 x 19.7 cm | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1780749457 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1780749457 | | Item weight | 294 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 448 pages | | Publication date | 6 Oct. 2016 | | Publisher | Rock the Boat | | Reading age | 13 - 18 years | ## Images ![Girl in Pieces - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712Rvy4ydrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding and heart breaking *by S***A on 12 May 2022* This book was sad and great.
