The Glass Girl

Bella Cohen is fifteen, and the drinking that started as something fun has become the thing she leans on to get through her parents' divorce, a painful breakup, and the loss of the grandmother she adored. She tells herself she has it handled, right up until the night a blackout nearly costs her life and she wakes up in a teen rehabilitation center hundreds of miles from home. There, surrounded by other kids fighting their own battles, Bella has to face the word addict and begin the slow, unglamorous work of staying sober one day at a time. Glasgow follows the group sessions, the setbacks, and the small victories with the same honesty she brought to Girl in Pieces, refusing to pretend recovery is easy while insisting it is real.
