"Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At seventeen she's already lost more than most people lose 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'sheart 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."
My Rating: 4.5/5
Trigger warnings for self-harm, substance abuse, sexual assault, and additional abuse. This book was a lot, which is to be expected based on the title, cover art and description. I think it's a story that both sees people who have had these experiences but also explains how these situations take place. It was a hard read, but an important one. The characters were dynamic and the atmosphere while chaotic made a lot of sense.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
