About this listen

'WILL STAY WITH YOU LONG AFTER YOU'VE READ THE LAST PAGE'
- Nicola Yoon, #1 NYT bestselling author of Everything, Everything

You can spot the girls who will have it easy. I don't even have to describe them for you.

You can spot the girls who will get by on smarts. You can spot the girls who will get by because they're tough, or athletic.

And then there's me.

A deeply moving portrait of a girl in a world that owes her nothing, and has taken so much, and the journey she undergoes to put herself back together. A story you won't be able to look away from.

A Girl, Interrupted for a new generation. A New York Times bestseller.

The start was amazing, i could not put the book down, but as the book progressed there were so many issues raised in which how could an individual be so unlucky?? I feel like different concepts could have been looked into more in depth, i feel like the concepts were just crammed into the book but was missing the depth and importance of it all.

Overall, I did love Kathleen Glasgow's writing style!



(SPOILER)





- Loss of father (what happened??)
- Grandmother funding stopped (what happened??)
- Ellis being 'half dead' (there is no more to that. The end of the book did not give the readers much closure at all..)
- Riley using her
- Mixed signals with Mikey
- Poor relationship with mother (never found out what happened between mother and her other than a singular fight)
- Riley's sister being rude about the 'cuts'
- Self harm (no one helped the main character with this at all. It was more encouraged)
- Mention of suicide
- Addiction (so many additions, drug, alcohol, etc)
- Blue's problems overall (Why was Blue rude at the start? Why did Blue meet up with Charlie?? Why did Blue continue to flirt while knowing how it made Charlie feel?? ETC)
- Loss of Luisa (not much closure on this topic too. I wish there was more info on the books she wrote in)

What ride.. such a dark and emotional journey, very well narrated too! I binged quickly.

Emotional Story

Not what I expected after reading such highly rated reviews. It was alright, lots of themes not discussed in depth and left wondering “what happened there?”. Tragic about the main character’s life and story she tells, but a positive ending nonetheless. I felt it misses the mark on the hype the book gets on social media.

Alright…

Yeah it was okay, certainly not life changing like TikTok made it out to be. Sad but not shattering. Worth a listen but won’t be making my top10 list.

Beautifully written. Great narration. So much insight into a world so different to my own.

Heart achingly beautiful

A real story about a very relatable character, just trying to navigate life after trauma and abandonment. Dealing with her own share of mental health struggles along the way. This book will have you in tears and I think about these characters daily.

Absolutely loved the raw, real and relatable characters and storyline. You won’t regret listening to this book.

Loved this book a lot.

I couldn’t stop listening!

At first I was getting annoyed, thinking how stupid can she be going out with this guy who is so obviously WRONG for her but when I stopped and listened from the point of view that this is literally what happens in real life. She was so broken that all she thought she deserved was that exact thing. It’s realistic, sad, hopeful and has elements of joy.

Very realistic.

I loved this so much, is a must read. Made me laugh cry and feel so warm by the end

Deep and tragic but so beautiful
