Summary: 5 Stars
Fifteen-year-old Callie has a rare problem. She's not anorexic, she's not on drugs, and she's not bulimic. But she cuts herself. Soon she finds herself at a "residential treatment facility", Sea Pines (or "Sick Minds", as she calls it) and her hurt shows its face when she refuses to talk. Nothing seems to break the silence coming from Callie, and sometimes she just gets the urge to slice her skin, to see the blood...and it's like she's determined never to talk to her therapist. This book is a masterfully written story chronicling (in detail) the thoughts that whirl around in Callie's mind. It is filled with vivid and poignant emotions, and Patricia McCormick develops her main character well. Callie's relationships with the other girls at the treatment facility add subtle insights about human nature and the universal need of friendship. I enjoyed how Callie's family life and her reasons for "cutting" were slowly explored and explained in this novel-in a very natural and empathetic way, without being contrite. But the best thing about this book was its hopeful ending that leaves us with the feeling that Callie has emerged from her treatment stronger, wiser, and able to overcome the temptation to cut herself. I hope to see more from this author.Book Review: ...

Have you ever read your five year old sister's diary? If so, this book will remind you of those good o' days. The grammar bad, no... did I say bad? I meant...HORRIBLE. Here is a quote from the first few pages of the book... "I don't tell her..." What the hell? Why not try I DIDN'T Mrs. Mccormick? Is American grammar too good for you? And what the hell were the editors doing? Don't they check for such errors? Argh. I am a writer myself and it just pains me to see that any old hag can publish a book...Book Review: ....!?!?!?!?
Summary: 4 Stars
okay... where to start this book is soo hard to explain. it gets you thinking about serious stuff, shows you the connections and relationships that callie forms with the people in her group, and it shows the steps of reaching out and getting the help callie so despretly needed to take. Yet even if you aren't a cutter you can in some way relate. it could be the breaking out of your shell and reaching out for help, or it could be the relationships thatcallie forms with the people in her group. i would recommend this book its very moving, inspirational, and mysterious.
