The listing, Young adult book. Cut by Patricia McCormick has ended.
- Was on the top list on goodreads for young adult books about real topics.
- Only 151 pages, very easy to read.
- I bought it used off Amazon, was suppose to be 'good' condition, but the front and back cover are mangled, the spine is horribly cracked, and a lot of the pages are stained.
- It's actually not as dark and depressing as it sounds
- I loved it, but felt the ending lacked something. Like it wasn't finished.
Back cover summary:
Callie cuts herself. Never too deep, never enough to die. But enough to feel the pain. Enough to feel the scream inside.
Now she's at Sea Pines, a "residential treatment facility" filled with girls struggling with problems of their own. Callie doesn't want to have anything to do with. She doesn't want to have anything to do with anyone. She won't even speak. But Callie can only stay silent for so long....
What critics said:
"A vivid and inspiring first novel....part psychological mystery story (what's eating Callie?) and part adolescent drama (will her friends help her get better?) - New York Times book review
"A sensitive portrayal of a young girls illness and her difficult path to recover." - Horn Book Magazine
"Cut, a debut novel by Patricia McCormick, is one of the best young-adult novels in years...Riveting and hopeful, sweet, heartbreaking." - Boston Globe
I hope I gave you enough information on it, books are a bit harder to list it seems. Please if you have any questions, ask!
