The story of a teenage girl on the brink, and the bumpy road back to recovery.

Bella is at breaking point. Everyone in her life needs something from her, and there’s only one thing that dulls the pain.

Alcohol smooths the sharp edges and makes things so much easier. When Bella drinks, she doesn’t feel heartbroken over her ex. Or caught in the middle of her parents’ divorce. Or overcome with grief for her grandmother.

But one night changes everything. When she awakes in hospital with no memory of what happened, it’s time to face reality. And for Bella, that means rehab and the bumpy road to recovery.

‘Stunning in every sense of the word.’ Josh Silver, author of HappyHead

‘Raw, powerful - and utterly brilliant.’ Ravena Guron, author of This Book Kills

Praise for this book

"Deeply honest, wholly compassionate, and desperately needed. I fell hard for Bella, a girl torn between her brain and her heart who carries far too much on her own at just fifteen - and who deserves so much better than to carry it alone. The Glass Girl is Kathleen Glasgow at her finest." - Meredith Adamo

"I wish The Glass Girl had been around when I was in high school. You don't have to be a teen or have struggled with alcohol to need this book. You just have to be a human being. Everyone needs this book." - Sloan Harlow

"A fiercely powerful story of recovery, hope, redemption, and strength. I read The Glass Girl in one feverish, tear-soaked sitting, and it haunted me for weeks. It still haunts me in the very best way. Kathleen Glasgow's prose is as beautiful and lyrical as her stories are unflinchingly honest and real. I wish I could press a copy into the hands of every teen and adult. Read this. It's a masterpiece." - Jennifer Niven

"Glasgow's characters are raw and nuanced individuals that feel like someone you used to know or could have been in a different life. Add to that Glasgow's haunting lyricism and trademark ability to break your heart and remake it stronger, and you know why The Glass Girl is a must-read." - Laura Nowlin

"Inspiring, hopeful, and very necessary. Glasgow leads with empathy in a subject that is far too often misunderstood and judged. Stunning in every sense of the word." - Josh Silver

"Kathleen Glasgow has an unparalleled ability to breathe humanity into her characters, to make us hurt and hope and heal alongside them; it is this quality that shines most brightly in The Glass Girl. Nothing short of a modern masterpiece, it is a powerful, necessary, and gorgeously written journey into the depths of addiction - and there is no guide better equipped to lead readers through this darkness to a state of light, recovery, and hope than Glasgow." - Amber Smith
