Cut book by patricia mccormick5/15/2023 ![]() It took me about 50 pages to actually get into this novel, and considering that's 1/3 of the book, I would say that's not a good thing. I liked that it was a unique perspective, I just didn't feel like it was the right perspective for me. I found it difficult to relate to Callie and feel what she was feeling because I had to listen to her and be her sounding board. Like I was supposed to be on the other side watching Callie and helping her, and that wasn't what I wanted to be as this reader. That made me a little uncomfortable, if I am being honest, because I felt like I was supposed to be the expert. Additionally, in these scenes the reader was Callie's individual therapist. The one thing I found odd about the novel is that it was written in the perspective of Callie's voice, but I would estimate at least 50% of that was addressed to the reader. ![]() ![]() Callie's manifestations of her problems are very common, and although the novel is entitled Cut and we know that Callie is a cutter, I found it to be a characteristic that added dimension, but was not necessary to define her. ![]() The best part about this novel was that the main character is relatable for teenage girls experiencing any kind of emotional distress. A very nice quick read that was realistic. ![]()
