Brief Description:
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces comes a
raw, heart-wrenching novel about a teenager facing down her struggles with
alcohol—and the journey she must take to heal. Everyone in fifteen-year-old
Bella’s life needs something from her. Her mom needs her to help around the
house, her dad needs her to not make waves, her ex needs her to not be so
much. The only person who never needed anything from her was her
grandmother—and now she’s dead. There’s only one thing that dulls the
pressure: alcohol. Vodka, beer, peppermint schnapps—alcohol smooths the
sharp edges of Bella’s life. And what’s the big deal? Everyone drinks.
Besides, Bella can stop whenever she wants. But after she gets blackout
drunk at a Thanksgiving party and wakes up in the hospital, it’s time to
face reality. And for Bella, reality means rehab. Gorgeously written and
deeply compassionate, Kathleen Glasgow’s The Glass Girl is a candid
exploration of the forces pushing young women toward addiction—and what it
really takes to help them get better.
