In this month I read the book “Girl In Pieces” By Kathleen Glasgow. This book talks about a girl named Charlie but real name is Charlotte Davis, Charlotte only being seventeen years old. Went to a hospital for problems of her own after a few weeks she finally got out. Charlotte having a bad relationship with her mother, father not in the picture, and only a couple of friends. She decided to run away to a small apartment her friend had away from her town home.
I liked this book, but some people might also not like it because this book is a very depressing book. It does talk about some serious issues that people also deal with in real life as well. I liked it although it was sad it was also a pretty good book.
My favorite character from girl in pieces has to be Casper because she was always the one who gave Charlie a mother figure page 77 “Today I’m excited to meet with Casper. I want to tell her about crafts, and what I drew and what I’m drawing means to me.” I feel like this quote really shows what Charlie thinks of Casper as an older sister, or even a mother. Which is super important as she has a really bad relationship with her biological mother. Thats why Casper is my favorite character.
My favorite quote from this book is “The sea shakes. The voices get farther and farther away and then there is nothing for a long time. Then the sea shakes again, and something grabs my leg.” page 344. I like this quote because it shows that not everything is peaceful all the time. When you might be all settled in you can also get attacked, I feel that’s what the author was meaning.
