Publisher 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.

Quotes
-
Inspiring, hopeful, and very necessary. Glasgow leads with empathy in a subject that is far too often misunderstood and judged. Stunning in every sense of the word.
— Josh Silver, author of HappyHead -
Glasgow’s characters are raw and nuanced individuals that feel like someone you used to know or could have been in a different life. Add to that Glasgow’s haunting lyricism and trademark ability to break your heart and remake it stronger, and you know why The Glass Girl is a must-read.
— Laura Nowlin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of If He Had Been with Me -
Deeply honest, wholly compassionate, and desperately needed. I fell hard for Bella, a girl torn between her brain and her heart who carries far too much on her own at just fifteen—and who deserves so much better than to carry it alone. The Glass Girl is Kathleen Glasgow at her finest.
— Meredith Adamo, author of Not Like Other Girls -

"A visceral, weighty read.
— Kirkus Reviews -
I wish The Glass Girl had been around when I was in high school. You don’t have to be a teen or have struggled with alcohol to need this book. You just have to be a human being. Everyone needs this book.
— Sloan Harlow, New York Times bestselling author of Everything We Never Said -
A visceral, weighty read.
— Kirkus Reviews -
A fiercely powerful story of recovery, hope, redemption, and strength. I read The Glass Girl in one feverish, tear-soaked sitting, and it haunted me for weeks. It still haunts me in the very best way. Kathleen Glasgow’s prose is as beautiful and lyrical as her stories are unflinchingly honest and real. I wish I could press a copy into the hands of every teen and adult. Read this. It’s a masterpiece.
— Jennifer Niven, #1 New York Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places
