The Glass Girl

Everyone in Bella’s life clamours for something, but until now only her grandmother ever gave unreserved support. As a fifteen-year-old, Bella uses alcohol to dull the pressure from family and friends, convinced she can stop whenever she wants. After a blackout at a Thanksgiving party, she wakes up in the hospital and realises she must confront reality—and that reality means rehab. This novel follows a teenage girl teetering on the edge and the challenging, winding path back to herself.

From the author of bestselling Girl in Pieces, Kathleen Glasgow, this is a poignant, raw portrait of adolescence, dependency and the long road to recovery.
