I wish I knew about Patricia McCormick when I was a kid because I feel like she just understands the millennial generation as kids.

It's a good book. Definitely a worthwhile read but it could have been executed a little better.

SYNOPSIS:
Callie is a runner. One day she finds herself running to her house in the middle of a marathon and straight to her kitchen where she pulls out a kitchen knife and cuts herself. Now Callie is in Sea Pines, a treatment facility where she refuses to talk, to everyone including her own family. But Callie can only stay silent for so long....

REVIEW:
At first the book had me wondering what could have possibly happened to make Callie the way she is, a cutter who refuses to talk. As the story progresses, the problems start to come out one by one and you realize all the pressure and issues she had going on. When I was reading the author sucked me in so much that when someone would talk to me I felt like I couldn't talk, until my brain finally realizes that I'm not reading anymore. I knocked off a few stars because as the book came closer to being over it still didn't seem like it was going anywhere. I was kinda disappointed about the ending.

AGE RATING AND RECOMMENDED TO:
Since this book talks about certain conditions, I would probably recommend it to those 13 and over. Recommended to those that enjoy psychological novels

This book is far from perfect. It is a book that people can relate to. It’s a book that made me feel less alone when I was going through a rough time.

Well I read this in just a few hours. It was a very small book for the subject topic it deals with. I was a bit underwhelmed with how the subject of cutting was handled. It wasn't talked about much and the author seemed to skirt around the issue all too frequently. I would have liked the writing to be a bit more blunt and straightforward than what it was. I was anticipating the book to end a certain way--kind of a reveal of what's happened to Callie--and it just abruptly ends with really no resound resolution. I wouldn't recommend this one unless you know someone personally who has struggled with cutting or have cut yourself. It's not even triggering for someone who has cut I don't think. Again, highly anticipated and extremely underwhelming ending.

Emotional wrecker. Was not as good of a book as Crank, but it was still a good read.
