Summary:

Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At eighteen she's already lost more than most people lose in a lifetime. But she's learned how to forget it. The thick glass of a mason jar cuts deep and the pain washes out the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. You don't have to think about your father and the bridge. 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 to find your way back from the edge.

Summary

'WILL STAY WITH YOU LONG AFTER YOU'VE READ THE LAST PAGE'

- Nicola Yoon, #1 NYT bestselling author of Everything, Everything

You can spot the girls who will have it easy. I don't even have to describe them for you.

You can spot the girls who will get by on smarts. You can spot the girls who will get by because they're tough, or athletic.

And then there's me.

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. A story you won't be able to look away from.

A Girl, Interrupted for a new generation. A New York Times bestseller.
