BOOK OVERVIEW:
Girl in Pieces meets The Way I Used to Be in this poignant and
thought-provoking novel about a girl who must overcome her survivor's
guilt after a fellow classmate is brutally murdered.
I was one of five. The five girls Kyle texted that day. The girls it
could have been. Only Jamie--beautiful, saintly Jamie--was kind enough
to respond. And it got her killed.
On the eve of Kyle's sentencing a year after Jamie's death, all the
other "chosen ones" are coping in various ways. But our tenacious
narrator is full of anger, stuck somewhere between the horrifying past
and the unknown future as she tries to piece together why she gets to
live, while Jamie is dead.
Now she finds herself drawn to Charlie, Jamie's boyfriend--knowing
all the while that their relationship will always be haunted by what-ifs
and why-nots. Is hope possible in the face of such violence? Is
forgiveness? How do you go on living when you know it could have been
you instead?
