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 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 -- she just needed her to be Bella. Now her grandmother is dead.

There's one thing that eases the pressure, though. Alcohol smooths the sharp edges of Bella's life and makes it all so much easier. What's the big deal? Everyone drinks. And Bella knows she can stop whenever she wants -- she just needs to get through Thanksgiving.

But that night changes everything. A Thanksgiving party and too many drinks land her, unconscious, on her front steps, where her mother finds her in the early hours of the morning. When she wakes up in the hospital with a fractured cheekbone and no memory of the night before, it's clear that it's time to deal with reality. And for Bella, reality means going to rehab.

Gorgeously written and deeply compassionate, Kathleen Glasgow's The Glass Girl is a candid exploration of the forces pushing a girl toward a dangerous path of addiction, and her gradual acceptance that she must face what she's been trying to erase before she can really get better.

Praise for The Glass Girl
'A wonderful book, not just for young adults but any person should read this ... I would certainly recommend this book to any teenager as well as others to gain an understanding of addiction and the process and difficulties of overcoming the situation.' -- Better Reading preview reviews
