Interesting...
Charlotte Davis is not your average teenager. She practices self harm in the form of cutting. Glasgow gives us an intimate look into the life of this lonely and distraught teenager who is torn to pieces in more ways than one. I personally think this book should come with a gigantic trigger warning. But I guess if the cover and title doesn't do that in itself then you're just fooling yourself. Although this book was very well written and obviously carefully thought out, I think that it was a bit too long for the subject matter. It got very tedious and boring in the second half. This book was very personal for me. It triggered a lot of emotion and memory out of me. Without going into too much detail, I can relate very much to the protagonist in this book. But I think we all can in our own ways if we can remember what it's like to be a teenager and even imagine what it's like to be a teenager in Charlotte's life. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is curious about mental illness and self-harm.
