Cut book review

Cut, by Patricia McCormick, is a story that shows the life and mind of 15 year old Callie, who was consumed into a terrifying problem. Allowing herself to believe that she is the cause for her brother's sickness, she is under so much stress so she decides to take the pain away, by causing more pain, and a new habit is born. Just one cut to take her mind off everything else, at least that's what she though. Callie began to cut her wrists everyday, several times a day, until the school nurse noticed what was going on and knew she had to inform Callie's parents. With this, her parents knew she needed help so they sent her to a pschyiatric hospital, where she must go to therapy and be around other girls who are trying to overcome the same kind of issues. First, she refuses to talk to anyone, but soon opens up when she has flash backs of the past. If you are anything like me, Cut with send chills down your spine, but is also heart warming when she gets her life together.
